The Election Commission (EC) is unperturbed by the latest poll
findings by Merdeka Centre that shows widespread distrust towards the
electoral process, saying that the respondents “might not know what
they are talking about”.
The
survey results announced yesterday shows among others, an astounding 92
percent of the 1,019 respondents support a clean-up of the electoral
roll, 49 percent of those interviewed do not believe
that the electoral process is free from irregularity while 51 percent
think the postal voting process lacks transparency and is open to
political interference.

I wonder why there are still eight percent of them who replied negatively to the question."
