Voters living outside the Tenang constituency are making their way back to cast their votes for tomorrow's by-election, causing some congestions with noticeably more cars plying the roads in Labis town.

Police are now calling on the people to adhere to the regulations to ensure traffic would be smooth on roads leading to the 12 polling centres.

Inspector-general of police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said the public should follow instructions to ensure the by-election runs smoothly.

"Cooperate with the police and return home after casting your votes," he said.
 
Earlier he attended a briefing by Johor police chief Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff on the preparations for the by-election in Labis.

He said police were ready for any eventualities, including the possibility of flood.
 
Ismail warned troublemakers to stay out, saying police would take stern action against attempts to disrupt the by-election.

The by-election is seeing a straight fight between BN’s Mohd Azahar Ibrahim, 39 and PAS' Normala Sudirman, 38.

Home Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein who also spoke to reporters here said barring unforeseen circumstances, the Tenang by-election is set to be the calmest ever.
