Voters are urged to exercise their responsibility in casting their votes despite there being a lack of confidence in the Elections Commission and the many irregularities found in the electoral rolls, said Kamar Ainiah Kamaruddin, head of the Citizens Election Watch (Pemantau).

"If any voter is barred from voting or is threatened by any party, they should report the matter to the authorities and bring it to Pemantau's attention," she said.

She said voters complaints are important as they represent the eyes and ears of Pemantau in ensuring a fair and free election. All parties concerned are urged not to create apprehension among voters during tomorrow's polls, she added.

Meanwhile, in an open letter, Barisan Alternatif and 23 NGOs expressed their disappointment in the Barisan Nasional, as well as some section of the mass media, for deliberately exploiting racial sentiments to gain support from the voters.

According to the letter, the issues concerning the formation of an Islamic state, Malay dominance and a Malaysian Malaysia are not the central issues in this elections.

"The central issues confronting the voters are the usurpation and concentration of power in politics, administration, legislative and judiciary, economy and finance by a handful of BN leaders who are authoritarian, greedy and unscrupulous."

Civil Rights Committee representative Alison Wee said that all political parties should accept the election results and respect the wishes of the majority of Malaysian citizens.
