The Election Commission of Malaysia (SPR) has begun accepting applications for postal voting in the 16th Melaka state election, opening the application process to eligible voters within and outside the country.
Eligible voters seeking to vote by post can submit their applications during the designated period. The postal voting option is available to both domestic voters who are unable to vote at polling stations on election day and Malaysian citizens residing abroad.
Voters wishing to apply for postal ballot status are advised to check the SPR website for detailed instructions, required documentation, and application deadlines. The commission has urged eligible voters to submit their applications early to ensure processing before the election date.
Postal voting represents an important alternative for voters who may face difficulties attending polling stations due to work, health, or geographical constraints. The availability of this option aims to facilitate broader voter participation in the state election.
