Improvements in postal and early voting systems were those that were viable to be carried out especially when Covid-19 pandemic was still a risk, said Bersih steering committee chairman Thomas Fann.
"They have to do this first before they start looking at e-voting," he said when met at the townhall and forum on voters supremacy organised by Bersih here on Saturday ."If they don’t improve on this, voter turnout would be low like 55% or 60%, which is unacceptable," he added. Meanwhile, Institute for Development Studies Sabah chief executive officer Assoc Prof Dr Ramzah Dambul who was a panel speaker, said those who stay outside their home town, might also change their voting location to their current place of residence, which would increase voter turnout.
Dr Ramzah also agreed that electronic votes was the way forward especially with biologic threat risks like Covid-19 at present.
