KUALA LUMPUR: The upcoming Johor state elections will be a testing ground on how the new order of Undi18 voters cast their ballots and political parties must “think out of the box” to entice local youths, say analysts.

Universiti Sains Malaysia political analyst Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said political parties may rely heavily on social media to reach out to youth voters, but he warned that support may not translate to votes if youths weren't convinced to cast their ballots.

"But, it's still early to say if their votes can swing, as much as it is not tested yet," added Sivamurugan. Political analyst Dr Azmi Hassan cited figures from the Election Commission , saying that the additional new voters under Undi18 meant an additional 10,000 to 20,000 new voters in each constituency.

"Human interaction between candidates and voters should be allowed in certain constituencies, just like Sarawak." "Although the Covid-19 situation is moving towards the endemic stage, precautionary measures must be taken," added Awang.
