Undi18 announces legal suit against Putrajaya after EC delays registration of young voters

KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 — Persatuan Pengundi Muda, also known as Undi18, has announced today its legal action against the government after the Election Commission (EC) yesterday announced the delay registration of voters between 18 and 20 years’ old.

In a statement, the group said the action aims to compel the EC to do so and is expected to be filed in one week on April 2.

“In light of recent developments, Undi18 strongly believes that youths between the ages of 18 and 20 should not be denied their constitutional right to vote.

“We believe that every vote matters in a democracy. Hence, further delay on the implementation of the Undi18 Bill systematically discriminates against the voices of the youth,” the group said.
