Both have also introduced themselves to the voters who will head to 13 polling centres tomorrow.
Kampung Baru polling district has the highest number of electorate with 2,150 and the lowest number of voters is in Belatim with 160.
The other polling centres are Lojing (606), Sungai Ber (411), Balar (232), Bihai (278), Hau (254), Kampung Pulai (471), Bandar Lama Gua Musang (1,562), Bandar Baru Gua Musang (1,185), Kampung Batu Papan (1,739), Lepan Tupai (593) and Sungai Terah (,1912).
Of the 11,553 (including 127 postal voters), Malay voters consist of 7,125, Chinese (2,317), Indian (185), Orang Asli (1,889) and others (37).
There are a combined 25 channels at the polling centres which used 11 schools and a hall and a community centre.
All polling centres would be open from 8am to 5pm except in Bihai, Belatim, Hau and Balar, which close at 1pm.
The Election Cmmission has hired the services of two helicopters and four four-wheel-drive vehicles to tranport ballot boxes from remote polling districts, mostly in Orang Asli settlements.
Helicopters will be used to transport ballot boxes from Bihai, Belatim, Hau and Balar.
According to the Election Commission, 127 police personnel had voted through postal voting on Monday.
The commissio n has issued 177 postal ballot papers as there were 50 commission workers who were engaged in the by-election.
The 50 voted at the Gua Musang Land and District Office operations room on Sunday here.
Election Commission secretary Datuk Noordin Che Ngah had reportedly said that the postal ballots would be counted together with other ballot papers from normal voting after the polling stations closed at 5pm today.
All the postal ballots would be kept in the strong room at the Gua Musang Land and District operations room under tight police security, he had said.
It is expected that the voters turn-out to drop slightly from the 81 per cent , which was recorded in the 2008 general election.
Political analysts have attributed the (anticipated) lower turn-out to the outstation voters who might not be able to get a leave from work to return and vote.
Political parties from BN and Pas have put the figure of the outstation voters between 1,500 and 2,000.
Tomorrow, the weather is forecast to have clear sky in the morning until 3pm and rain in the afternoon.
In the last 48 hours here, distributions of political leaflets and newsletters by both parties were on the rise.
During the same period, new banners and buntings also popped up, mostly around the old town.
State police chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi yesterday gave an assurance that it is safe for the people to go to vote.
He said an adequate number of policemen were stationed at various locations including polling stations to maintain security and public order.
"The people should have no fear to carry out their duties to cast their votes," he said.
However, he said it was anticipated that the traffic volume would increase today but police had taken suitable measures to address any congestion.
He said police had observed that the campaign period had been incident-free except for minor issues which had been put under control.
The Election Commission had designated the Civic Centre as the main venue for centralised tallying of the ballots.
It has also announced that the official by-election result would be known as early as 8pm.
The by-election was held when there was a vacancy of the Galas seat following the death of its assemblyman Che Hashim Sulaima on Sept 27.
In the last general election, Che Hashim, of Pas, defeated BN's candidate Mohd Saufi Deraman with a 646-vote majority.
Che Hashim polled 4,399 against Saufi's 3,753 in the election.
