Young Malaysians living outside Negeri Sembilan may swing state poll
About 890,000 voters are registered for Saturday’s election for 36 state assembly seats, with 103 candidates competing and several three-way races.
Malaysia’s Negeri Sembilan state election is set for Saturday, with turnout potentially shaped by a growing number of young voters who live outside the state but remain registered to vote there, according to SCMP Economy.
The outlet highlighted the case of a 27-year-old project engineer who left Seremban for Gelang Patah in Johor for better pay and career prospects, while still thinking of Negeri Sembilan as home and keeping his registration there.
Just shy of 890,000 voters are registered to cast ballots on Saturday for 36 seats, with 103 candidates in the race, including multiple contests that are described as tightly fought three-way races.
