Aug 02, 2017
Claims that the 14th General Election will be held on 13th October, are not true.
This, following a viral video, showing what appears to be the announcement of the date for elections.
The Election Commission explained that the clip was merely of a simulation exercise, during a briefing session for EC staff in Kelantan on Sunday.
An official says the commission has been conducting ongoing briefing and training sessions, to prepare election workers for the upcoming polls.
The EC will also be keeping a close watch on social media, to ensure that fake or inaccurate news about the election is not being spread.
