GE14 | Pakatan Harapan have appealed to Malaysians to come out in large numbers to cast their ballots in the 14th general election.

A posting on Bersatu's Facebook page this afternoon said the opposition coalition needed a high turnout to stand a chance of winning.

“Guys! Please call all your friends who have not voted to come out and vote. We need 85 percent turnout to ensure BN is toppled. Please. Help us! SOS,” read the posting.

The DAP has also circulated the same message on social media.

The Election Commission announced that voter turnout as of 3pm was at 69 percent.

In the last general election, the turnout rate was at 84.8 percent.

In this election, a total of 14,449,200 electors are voting on polling day, excluding early voting and postal votes.

This is compared to 12,992,661 ordinary electors in the last general election.
