Seven voters from Kedah, Perak and Johor filed a judicial review application at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today seeking a declaration that local inquiries undertaken by the Election Commission for the last three months were null and void.

The voters claimed the inquiries were not done properly as stipulated under Schedule 1 and Article 5 of the Federal Constitution and Section 18 and 19 of the Commissions of Enquiry Act 1950, as they were denied legal representation during the local inquiries.

The affected voters are from the state constituencies in Bukit Selambau (Kedah), Bakar Bata (Kedah), Kuala Sepetang (Perak), Semerah (Johor), and Bukit Batu (Johor), and also involved two parliamentary seats namely Tambun (Perak) and Ledang (Johor).
