Johor State Election Campaign Ends Tonight: Election Commission Issues Final Reminders

The Johor state election campaign officially ends at 11:59 PM tonight, with the Election Commission (SPR) reminding all contesting parties and candidates to halt any promotional activities. This ban extends to all forms of campaigning, whether face-to-face or through social media platforms like Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, and Threads. The SPR also issued a stern warning against setting up campaign tents, or "barung," at polling stations on election day, deeming it an offense under the Election Offences Act 1954. Voters are reminded not to use mobile phones within the polling stream and to place them in designated areas after receiving their ballot papers. The SPR encourages voters to check their polling information via the MySPR Semak app and to vote according to the suggested times, though voting is permitted between 8 AM and 6 PM or the officially gazetted polling center hours. Voters must bring their identification cards and are advised against handing them over to anyone other than election officials. Employers are also reminded of their legal obligation to grant their registered employees reasonable time off to vote in the Johor state election tomorrow.
