State elections should be held after May, says ex-EC official

THE six state elections should be held after May to make them easier for the Election Commission (EC) to manage, its former senior officer Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said.

He said it will be good to have a gap between the general election, which took place in November last year and the state polls, adding that the EC must also take into account Muslim voters who will perform the hajj at the end of June.
