13th General Election ' Registration ' Campaign

    The Election Commission reported that 15.47 million of Malaysians are above 21 years of age and therefore eligible to vote in federal and state elections.
    However, only 11.08 million (72%) have taken the trouble to register as voters.
    This means that 4.39 million (28%) eligible electors have opted to forfeit their
    right to vote in the event a general election is held.
