Election Day Announced

Because our misleading prime minister did not want to let us know the official polling date yesterday, we had to wait for the official announcement. Below the news from NSTOnline:

Polling on March 8

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman said the election would involve 222 parliamentary and 505 state seats in 12 states except for Sarawak which held its state election in 2006.

He said 10,922,139 were eligible to cast their votes based on the electoral roll gazetted on Feb 5.

Abdul Rashid made the announcement at the EC headquarters here at 11.40am.

The announcement was carried live by RTM dan TV3.
