Election Commission chairman Azhar Harun says many voters have not updated their addresses, making it difficult to effectively implement an automatic registration system.
EC chairman Azhar Harun told FMT the new voters would be automatically registered once the system came into force.Last July, Parliament passed a bill to enable the automatic registration of voters and to allow 18-year-olds to vote and stand as election candidates.“People think it is simple because we just have connect to the National Registration Department . No, it’s not.
One of the main problems, Azhar said, was that many Malaysians had not updated their addresses in their MyKad. He said a campaign needed to be undertaken by the EC, the Information Department and JPN to “implore, urge and beg” people to update their addresses.
