Undi18 came into force this year, lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 and introducing automatic voter registration. Johor was the first state election—which took place in March—to have Undi18 voters. “There were fresh faces and more parties pushed for the young people. The youth were the central focus for many parties, largely in their manifestos.” “Some stay in Sabah and Sarawak. The cost of going back was a big challenge. The others were minor issues that were solved.”

He also said that Undi18’s estimates that 75% of this group turning out to vote is certainly impressive.
