Where is Penanti, how many regular voters and postal voters are there? What have been their voting history? Undi.info provides much of the background information.
Penanti (N12) is a small state seat within Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency (P044), on the eastern side of Penang state, adjoining Kedah state. It is relatively rural within the urbanized Permatang Pauh.
The Penanti state constituency (See Wikimapia.org map) appears to:
- straddle both side of the eastern part of Kulim-Butterworth highway, mostly lying on the north side of the highway,
- be roughly bordered on the west by Jalan Abdul Kadir, Jalan Tanah Liat, and part of Jalan Arumugam Pilai,
- be roughly bordered on the north by P118 and P116 highways,
- be bordered on the east by the Penang-Kedah border,
- be roughly bordered on the south by the Mengkuang Dam hills, P129 and K120
- There appears to be a gerrymandering "tongue" that extends southeast into Bukit Mertajam, together with N10 and N11, which allows the Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency to capture the new Bukit Mertajam police headquarters (and its 400+ police voters), while excluding the more urban areas of N13 and N15.
MAFREL operating center for Penanti is located at at: Dewan Jawatankuasa Kemajuan Kampung (JKKK) Bukit Indera Muda 14000 Bukit Mertajam.
It is next to a badminton court.
How to go there (See Wikimapia map): From Permatang Pauh go to Kubang Semang. After seeing a mosque go another 100m and look for the operation Centre on the right. There will be a big MAFREL banner.
