During a press conference held at the Sarawak Police Contingent Headquarters (IPK) on Friday (Nov 3), he announced that a total of 624 police officers and personnel have been mobilised to ensure security control for the election.
This is the first assignment for the PDRM in the fourth phase of the Jepak by-election, with the second assignment involving the vote counting process and including 595 officers and personnel.

“Voters are encouraged to verify their voting details using the MySPRSEMAK application.
