Meanwhile, Puteri Umno chief Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said 86
percent of about 380,000 Puteri members have registered as voters.
"Puteri has many members in the 18-21 years age group. Our problem is to
locate members who have moved to the other states or abroad.
"We send letters reminding them of their eligibility to vote. This is done
on a continuous basis," she added.
