Kelantan has declared the polling day for the Galas state by-election on Nov 4 as a public holiday, State Secretary Mohd Aiseri Alias said in a circular today.

 

“The state government has agreed to declare Thursday, Nov 4, as a 'cuti peristiwa' (occasional holiday) for the whole state in conjunction with the by-election,” he said.

 

The by-election is called following the death of its incumbent Chek Hashim Che Sulaima on Sept 27.

The nomination is on Tuesday.
