He said the forms available from Selangor EC office and Hulu Selangor district office at RM20 each were bought by agents or representatives of candidates.
"Some of them bought two or three sets. This is normal as not all will file the papers on nomination day," he told Bernama at his office here today.
Several independent candidates are expected to contest the tenth by-election since the 2008 general election.
Nomination will be held in Kuala Kubu Baru on Saturday.
