KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is committed to electoral reform and ensuring that parliamentary democracy is forever maintained, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
"I am committed to electoral reform. We will undertake them.
"For example, there are concerns about phantom voters. We will ensure there are no chance for phantom voters," he said at the fifth annual Malaysian Student Leaders Summit here on Sunday.
He also responded to the students' queries during the question and answer session.
Measures being taken to improve the electoral system, he said, included the introduction of the biometric system and early votes among uniformed personnel.
"Do not doubt our commitment to improving the system.
"There is no such thing as postal votes. Those are early votes from people on duty. They vote on their own and not on other people's behalf," he said.
Najib also reiterated that there was parliamentary democracy and fair elections in the country.
