Polling agents still needed across the board

The single most useful thing anyone can do in this elections is to volunteer for polling agent and counting agent duty. What’s the use of of fighting for votes if in the end there is cheating and mis-counting? I can confirm with you 100% that mis-counting does happen, I caught it myself. When I volunteered in the last election, the very first thing they asked me to do was not to make posters, not to go on walkabouts, but to become a polling and counting agent. Many (if not all) campaigns still need agents, e.g.:

• PKR Bukit Lanjan – Elizabeth Wong
• DAP Ipoh Timur – Lim Kit Siang
• DAP PJ (Tony Pua, Edward Lee, Dr. Cheah, Lau Weng San) is conducting polling agent recruiting and training this week on Thursday and Saturday (8.30pm) in English, Saturday (3pm) in Chinese. Call/SMS Medaline Chang at 012 219 2010

… and I’m sure many others as well. Don’t be shy, just approach any campaign (they should be highly visible) in your area, or even outside your area if you prefer to help some party that’s not contesting in your constituency. Alternatively, the way I got involved with the DAP was by volunteering through the central website (I was “assigned” to Seputeh through there, based on my address).
