MARUDI (Nov 21): Voting for the remaining 12 polling centres involving 19 streams for Baram parliamentary seat has begun this morning, said the Election Commission (EC).
The polling centres were unable to operate on Saturday because poor visibility and weather conditions prevented helicopters from transporting EC workers there.
