A Whopping 4.9 million Unregistered Voters

Election Commission (EC) deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said there are 4.9 million Malaysians that are eligible to vote have not registered themselves. Phew! I am so glad that my parents forced me to register many years back. Take note (from the deputy chairman):

"Malaysians like to do things at the last minute – even for registering as voters. But they forget that there is a three-month period for their names to be validated into the electoral roll."
