00:00The Election Commission will publicly display 17 new Sarawak state seats from tomorrow,
00:06with notices to be put up at various locations in each parliamentary constituency.
00:12The notices will be put up for a month,
00:15and will also display the proposed new names for several existing constituencies, Borneo Post reported.
00:21The 17 new constituencies will raise the number of seats in the Sarawak Assembly from 82 to 99
00:27following the EC's re-delineation exercise.
00:30The public display will allow constituents to submit objections or representations
00:35concerning the proposed constituencies to the EC.
00:38However, it is unlikely that the new seats would be gazetted in time for the next Sarawak state election,
00:44which is expected to be held before the year ends.
00:48Amadeep Gill, FMT.
