Seng emphasized that encouraging eligible voters to exercise their voting rights remains a key objective. The commission will continue to enhance promotional activities to support this goal. Additionally, measures such as free public transportation on election day and service stations across various districts are expected to boost voter turnout.
He reiterated that publicly urging others to cast blank votes, abstain from voting, or cast invalid votes is a criminal offense, and voters must adhere to the law. Employers in both public and private sectors are responsible for ensuring employees have sufficient time to vote on election day. Providing transportation to and from polling stations is also recommended where feasible.
In other developments, the Electoral Affairs Commission met with the General Audit Committee of the Legislative Election to align on vote-counting standards and discuss post-election audit arrangements. Both parties are committed to ensuring the process is completed smoothly and in accordance with the law.
