Dear Friends, as you may already be aware six states* in Malaysia are headed for State Elections on 12 August.
To assist those of you who have registered for postal voting for the state elections before the closing date**, similar to the exercise carried out to collect and send back postal votes during the Malaysian General Election last November, we, volunteers from Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia in Australia
Malaysian Progressives in Australia - MPOZ and Masca Victoria in Melbourne will be collecting postal votes (dates and locations TBC) and sending back the votes through people flying back, who will then pass the votes on to volunteers from VoteMalaysia at KLIA who in turn will deliver the votes to the various end destinations domestically - essentially following the same process as the last General Election.
We will announce dates and locations for collection here in Melbourne soon.
In the meantime we appeal to you for your urgent attention and help with identifying people here who will be flying back to KL - specifically those arriving at KLIA between 9 and 11 August.
