Do you need to wear a mask or sanitise your hands? Here are the dos and don'ts to take note of when you head to the polling station on Nov 19.

According to guidance issued by the Election Commission of Malaysia this month, voters will be required to leave their mobile phones at the presiding officer's table before they head to the marking station to mark their ballots.A sign indicating"no handphone" and"prohibited from using handphone" could be seen in the SPR infographic issued on Nov 9. There was also an indication reminding voters to be silent at all times.

During Malaysia's 14th general election in 2018, rumours circulated that voters had to conform to a dress code to be allowed to enter polling stations. All voters will have both their hands checked by the polling secretary prior to inking. Members of the public will only receive their ballots after this step.

SPR urged members of the public to refer to official information on its website or via the commission’s social media accounts.
