UM election results withheld, fresh polling for one faculty

comments     Kevin Tan     Published     Updated

The full results of the campus election in Universiti Malaya have been withheld pending a fresh polling for the education faculty next Monday after irregularities were found in yesterday's polls.

A source told malaysiakini that the university's election committee had found students from the distance-learning programme in the faculty casting their votes, too.

Under the rules, only registered full-time undergraduates are allowed to participate in the campus electoral process, rendering post-graduate and distance-learning students ineligible.

Following the discovery of the breach, the election committee is withholding the results for the seven general constituency seats until polling in the education faculty ends Monday.
