The Election Commission today said there is no problem with anyone putting up the 1Malaysia logo tomorrow when voters in two state constituencies go to the ballot box.
EC deputy chief Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said as long as the logos displayed are not directly related to BN or PAS, they is permissible.
Wan Ahmad said the commission will not allow either side to display their party logos, particularly on vehicles used to ferry voters to polling stations.
“In the past, they used flags and logos. We’ve discussed this with the police, and it is considered campaigning,” he said at a press conference in Temerloh.
To replace the flags and logos, Wan Ahmad said political parties can use A4-sized coloured paper to identify the vehicles that they will use.
“BN will be blue, and PAS will be green,” he said.
Vote early tomorrow
Meanwhile, Wan Ahmad advised voters in Kerdau to come out early as the weather predicted to be overcast.
Despite the foreboding weather, he expects the voter turnout to hit around 80 percent.
There are a total of 8,999 voters registered in Kerdau, of which 90 percent are Malay. The remaining 10 percent includes Chinese, Malay and Orang Asli voters.
Voters in Merlimau, Malacca will also be picking a new state representative tomorrow following the death of the incumbent assemblyman, Mohamad Hidhir Abu Hassan on Jan 20.
