Flight by night postal votes were used to help the BN candidate to win as shown in the Sandakan MP seat and the Api-Api state seat in the last 2008 general elections.
Whether early voting to replace postal votes has any effect on fairness of the election is yet to be tested.
Election Commission chairman, Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof, said that through early voting, the EC could do away with the use of forms or envelopes as the voting process would be held in a normal manner, but earlier than for the normal voters.
At least this could or may avoid the voter slip buying by BN candidates or their agents.
Normally past practices Umno in cahoots with EC have access on how and where to get these slips...which area they decide them to be used to make their candidate win.
