PKR Youth Divisional Elections in Kedah Canceled Due to Technical Glitch
Technical Issue Causes Disruption in Voting Process
A technical glitch in the voting application has led to the cancellation of the PKR Youth (AMK) divisional elections in Kedah today, according to state PKR secretary Dr. Mohamad Sofee Razak. The issue caused the system to be unable to verify the birth dates of members aged 35 and below, rendering them unable to cast their votes for the AMK divisional elections.
Voting Process for Other Divisions Unaffected
However, the voting process for the divisional and women’s wing elections went smoothly, with no issues reported. Dr. Sofee Razak explained that members aged 35 and below were able to cast their votes at the divisional level, but not for the AMK divisional elections.
Cancellation of Elections and Rescheduling
The Party Election Committee (JPP) announced on Facebook that voting for the PKR AMK divisional elections across Kedah had been canceled and would be held again tomorrow from 8 am to 5 pm. This decision was made to ensure that all eligible members have the opportunity to cast their votes.
High Voter Turnout Despite Cancellation
Kedah PKR chairman Nor Azrina Surip @ Nurin Aina Abdullah reported that a total of 19,356 members were eligible to vote, involving all 15 divisions in the state. Despite the cancellation of the AMK divisional elections, a total of 19,003 people, or 98.2% of members, voted online, while 353 individuals, or about 1.8%, cast their votes physically.
