  2. Removing the right of political parties to set up booths to assist voters establish their names on the electoral roll and salurannumbers, identity of voters before going into polling stations ( called "pondokpanas" ) [Section (26)(1)(e)]

  3. Removing the right of political parties to have representatives observing the process in the SPR booths inside polling stations ( Barung SPR ) where voters check their names and get their saluran numbers etc [section 26A]

  4. Amending section 14 (1A) so that the SPR would dictate the time of arrival and departure of polling and counting agents of candidates at polling stations. The current law provided for polling and counting agents to arrive at the time decided by the political parties as long as they stayed at the polling stations for at least 2 hours.

  5. Removal of section 11(1)(c) requiring all printed material during campaign to bear the name of the publisher and printer. This has opened the door to a dirtier election where all sorts of defamatory or inflammatory material could be put out without anyone taking responsibility for them.
