April 02, 2011PUTRAJAYA, April 2 — The Election Commission (EC) has no plan to automatically register those who have reached the voting age of 21 as voters.
EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said people must apply to become voters in line with Article 119 of the Federal Constitution.
He said it was also difficult to have automatic registration of voters as many people were not staying at the addresses stated in their MyKad.
Automatic registration would inconvenience those who might prefer to vote in their current places of residence and not in the address stated in their MyKad.
Abdul Aziz also said about 3.9 million eligible Malaysians have yet to register as voters.
