Voter turnout could become deciding factor in Johor state election
Early voting has wrapped up in Malaysia's Johor state election. More 24,000 had registered to cast their ballots early across 64 voting centres. The rest of Johor's 2.7 million eligible voters will head to the polls this Saturday (Jul 11). This is one election that analysts say could be decided by voter turnout. Political parties are stepping up efforts to persuade outstation voters to return for polling day, but this may prove to be an uphill battle. Afifah Ariffin reports from Johor Bahru.
