Nomination today for 2021 Sarawak Election. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
KUCHING (Dec 6): Today is Nomination Day for the 12th Sarawak Election.
Eighty-two seats are up for grabs in the fight for the country’s biggest state legislative assembly.
The nomination of candidates will take place between 9am to 10 am.
A total of 1,252,014 registered voters are eligible to cast their ballots on Dec 18. Early voting is on Dec 14.
For the first time, the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government is going into the election wholly as a state coalition with its four component parties - Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) and Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) - since they quit the federal Barisan Nasional (BN) pact in 2018.
In the last 2016 state polls, the four parties and directly appointed candidates swept 72 seats including two unopposed, namely Bukit Sari and Bukit Kota.
