MELAKA (Bernama): The campaign guidelines set by the Election Commission (EC) for the Melaka state election may be restrictive, but all quarters should accept them in the interests of public safety, according to two candidates. It's a good thing to use the digital platform, as it ensures the safety of the people. "Voters have been living in the new normal for two years and I think they can follow our message online. The EC has banned ceramah, lectures, physical campaigning, house-to-house visits, walkabouts and distribution of pamphlets to the public throughout the campaign period. Early voting is on Nov 16 and polling is set for Nov 20 to elect representatives to the 28 seats in the Melaka State Legislative Assembly.
