Some polling stations in Selangor fail to heed EC's extension order

ntv7 has just announced that some polling stations had failed to heed the Election Commission's order that polling be extended until 7pm. These stations closed at 5 pm instead of 7 pm, despite the Commission's order that the extension applies to the whole of Selangor. There appears to be utter confusion in many parts of Selangor.

Even Rahim Tamby Chik acknowledges that the Election Commission's performance has been unsatisfactory ("buruk").

ntv7 reports that many voters are upset. Selangor Mentri Besar due to make an announcement at 9 pm.

ntv7 and Rahim suggest that it might be better to conduct polling again in affected areas.
