Extend campaign period to 21 days, Bersih urges

Bersih has called for a minimum 21-campaign period to ensure most postal ballots return by polling day.

"With the implementation of Undi18, automatic voter registration and the right to be a postal voter extended to all Malaysians living overseas, the EC (Election Commission) must allow a minimum of 21-day campaign period so that most postal ballots can return by polling day.

"Otherwise, it would be meaningless to allow overseas voters the right but deny them the time to participate," said Bersih in a statement today.
