Do I need to register to vote in Malaysia?

No. Since automatic voter registration (AVR) came into effect in December 2021, Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above are registered automatically. You should still check your details are correct on MySPR Semak.

Undi18 is the reform that lowered Malaysia's voting age from 21 to 18, implemented in December 2021 alongside automatic voter registration. It added millions of young voters to the electoral roll.
