The Election Commission (EC) will meet tomorrow to set the nomination and polling dates for the 12th general election.

Its chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman, said today that in choosing the dates, the EC would be considering several matters including the country’s situation and public security.

“The EC will give a suitable time frame for the nomination, campaigning and then polling,” he said in an interview with RTM shortly after Prime Minister Datuk Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced the dissolution of Parliament today, paving way for the general election.
