Malaysia’s Sarawak to hold state election on Dec 12

Sarawak, Malaysia's largest state, will hold its 13th state election on December 12, according to the Election Commission (EC). The EC announced the election date after a meeting chaired by chairman Ramlan Harun. Nomination day is set for November 28, and early voting will occur on December 8. Sarawak dissolved its state legislative assembly on October 26, triggering the early election within 60 days.

This will be the latest in a series of state elections across Malaysia in the past year, following elections in Sabah, Johor, and Negeri Sembilan. Sarawak currently has the largest legislative assembly in the country, with 82 seats.
