PETALING JAYA: Making it compulsory for Malaysians to vote where they live ensures that political representation will more accurately reflect the demographics, interests, and needs of each constituency, leading to fairer and more effective governance, says Dr Azmi Sharom .
He was speaking on reforms needed for the country’s electoral system after the launch of the G25’s book titled G25 Statements here yesterday. “But the number of registered voters there is 52,800. This means that there are more than 30,000 voters who do not live in Tanjong.“However, it has only 124,800 registered voters in the constituency.
“The Constitution needs to be amended to make it compulsory so that you vote where you live. It will lead to a better electoral system representation. this requires serious political will,” he acknowledged.
