With their village of Kampung Kubang Kual in Kelantan still flooded, more than 100 evacuees at the temporary relief centre (PPS) at SK Kubang Kual in Rantau Panjang will be able to cast their votes at the same venue come polling day tomorrow.
SK Kubang Kual will now have an "overlapping function" as a PPS as well as a voting centre for the Rantau Panjang parliamentary seat.
Fazilah Othman, whose family decided to remain at the PPS as their house was still inundated, said all they had to do in the morning was simply wake up.
"We are lucky here because this school is being used as a PPS and also delegated as a polling centre. This makes it easy for all of us.
"It feels a bit strange but what can we do, we still can't go home," she told Bernama in Pasir Mas today.
Her three children, who are first-time voters and arrived from Kuala Lumpur early this morning, have joined the family at the PPS, she said.
Selamah Isa, 93, said she was grateful to have been evacuated to the PPS by the authorities as her house is in a low-lying area.
"For voting tomorrow, I will be helped by the children or someone else as I can no longer walk.
"When you get this old, you need help to move anywhere," said Selamah, who has faithfully fulfilled her responsibility as a voter since the 1960s.
