The Election Commission (EC) has debunked posters circulating on social media claiming important dates for the 17th Sabah state election, including November 4, as entirely false. EC secretary Datuk Khairul Shahril Idrus clarified that no official announcement has been made regarding the dissolution of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly or any election dates. He emphasized that all election-related information, including the issuance of writs, nomination day, and polling day, will be communicated solely through the EC’s official channels such as its website, press conferences, and media releases. The EC warned that spreading false information is irresponsible and may cause public confusion. The public is urged to rely on verified sources for updates on the Sabah polls.
