PUTRAJAYA: The Election Commission (EC) today announced April 26 for polling in the Ayer Kuning state by-election in Perak.
EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun said nomination for the by-election has been set for April 12 and early voting, on April 22.
“The constituency has 31,897 voters. The by-election requires an allocation of RM2.5 million,” he told a news conference after chairing a special meeting to determine the date for the by-election at the EC headquarters here.
The Ayer Kuning by-election is being held following the death of its assemblyman, Ishsam Shahruddin, on Feb 22 from a heart attack.
Ishsam, who was Tapah UMNO division chief, won the seat with a 2,213-vote majority in the 15th General Election (GE15) held on Nov 2022 in a five-cornered contest.
