It's from a polling agent who offers some advice on the newest procedures at your polling centre.   Things you must be aware of before you go to the polling center. 1. Be at the polling center real early, as I m suspecting that there may be a long queue due to the new polling process. Many will be sick of waiting and waste their vote. Don't be a fool to do that. Polling center opens at 8am till 5pm. If queue is long, hang in there, do not leave even after 5pm once you entered. Polling center gate closes at 5:00pm sharp RTM time. Polling continues till all in queue is done, regardless of time. 2. Check on-line first (http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/semakpru13.aspx) and print out your details before going to the voting center. You may be able to by-pass the Barung counter since you have a printout and know where to go and thus short cut your time. 3. Bring your IC, if you lost your IC, then use the temp IC. If you also lost your temp IC, then you can use your passport. Avoid using passport as we the counting agents will insist you fill up a Borang 11 which will take time, and affects the queue. This time EC allows even Gov't employee tag... hmmm... polling agent will seek verification if sees anyone using that. 4. Make sure your left hand index finger is clean, any markings or stains will cause you to be disallowed to vote. If you got band aid plaster on that finger, they will require you to use the right hand index instead. The default is left hand index finger. No stains allowed on either fingers. The polling kerani will mark your left index finger with an ink. 5. Important! The ink will take about 30 second to dry. Bring along a tissue to dry your finger before holding your ballot papers. Any smudge or stain on the ballot paper will render it spoiled vote. So be extremely careful. Now you understand why you need to be there early. 6. Your ballot paper will have a serial number, but must be clean of any extra marking or words or stains, smudge, pencil/pen marking or dots or TEAR on all the surface of the ballot papers. YOU CAN REJECT THE PIECE OF BALLOT PAPER AND INSIST ON A NEW ONE IF YOU SEE ANY OF THOSE. Do not be intimidated by anyone there as this is your ABSOLUTE RIGHT. 7. Ensure that the kerani that handed you the ballot paper, do not write the serial No. of your ballot papers next to your name on the list. He or she is supposed to just neatly cross out your name on the list. If you see that she wrote something, please raise hell. Make sure she crosses out your name on her list and we will do the same on ours. 8. If in some strange (may happen) event you were told that you have already voted, even though you have not, and your fingers have no markings, you MUST raise hell. We the polling agents will raise hell too. It means that somebody has voted on your behalf. You will be required to fill forms and etc. Remember, your constitutional right to vote. 9. Do not wear any t-shirt or buttons or hat that is aligned to any of the political parties. You will be ask to remove or disallowed to enter the polling center. 10. When casting your vote, be careful not to make any other marks on the ballot paper. You will be using a pen instead of the usual pencil. So if you make a mistake and it is accidental, please request for a new ballot paper. Same applies if you smudge the paper with the indelible ink. They have 10% extra papers to cater for this sort of things. 11. Fold the ballot paper neatly in half checking to see that all is in order before proceeding to the ballot boxes. Here, we will have 2 ballot boxes for Parliament and State. 12. At the ballot boxes, SHOW and put the ballot paper into their corresponding box. Stand there to ensure that the kerani push your vote into the box. Please do not have any tissue or other paper in your hands as you may be stopped for search by the Polling agent. We are trained to look out for peoplewho brings out their blank voting papers to sell. Don't do that, you 'll go to jail. 13. Please vote wisely and your vote is your right and it is nobody's business who you vote for it is Private and Confidential. Even if you are a civil servant (Govt employee), your vote cannot be traced to you SO VOTE WITHOUT FEAR OF REPERCUSSION. 14. I am not aware of any special lane for the disabled or elderly. 15. Please send the word out to all your foreign friends or employees to avoid being seen near or around all polling centers. They may put themselves in harm's way. This is actually a warning to all of them that I got in the internet. Especially those who some how got blue IC. 16. Please forward this to all your relatives, friends, employees etc. The above advice is given without bias. Who you vote for is no one's concern. Everyone has a right to vote and to vote without FEAR.
