The below statement was taken from Star Online:
"Malaysians who are eligible to vote should register this month(June 2012) to qualify to vote in the 13th general election if it is held in September.
"If they register in the second quarter of this year, they will be able to vote if the election is held after August,” Election Commission deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said yesterday.
About 3.6 million eligible voters nationwide have not registered..."
So, if you are 21 and above, hurry!! Register as a voter now. If you don't, then don't start complaining about what happens to the government if you yourself did not exercise your right as a voter!
Go to any post office or any Election Commision Headquarters(there is one in every state) and fill in a form and bring your IC and you will be registered as a voter. I heard it only takes 10 minutes for the whole process of registering minus of course the waiting in line.
I am going to register soon in a post office. I can't wait to vote *excited* haha as this would be my first time!
After registering, do remember to check your status at this website: Electoral Roll Checking

Updated: I have gone to the post office and registered and it was so easy. Now, after checking, my application has been accepted. So, I can now officially vote! *laughs*

ReplyDeleteThks for ur kind info=)
ReplyDeleteHi! After registering to be a voter, how long do I need to be eligible to vote? Do you know any website to refer to? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I don't know any website to refer to because these info are current and will normally be published in the newspaper on when the EC will gazette the electoral roll for voters.
ReplyDeleteSay like for this coming 13th GE, it has been gazetted in February 2013 and those who registered this year are not entitled to vote in the 13th GE unfortunately but in the next 5 years.
Ohh thank you very much!
ReplyDeletehi, i have registered last year around Oct, but i check status at SPR, it said no record! i still have the registration receipt, what can i do now?
ReplyDeleteHai, errr...I think it's best you call SPR to check what happened or go back to the post office where you have registered to check it out. I'm sorry, I'm of not much help >.<
ReplyDeleteWould like to ask, if register at another post office of another state, does it mean u would vote in that place, or voting still follow your home address?
ReplyDeleteWhen is the deadline to register?
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting. Going to head to my nearest pos office to register as a voter! ;)
