2015-08-21 1

All Malaysian registered voters residing overseas will soon be able to vote via post.

According to Election Commission chairperson Abdul Aziz Yusof, this will "hopefully happen in the next general election".

Speaking to reporters in Kuala Lumpur today, he said that the EC is currently in the process of amending the election rules to allow this.

The change in election rules will expand the postal vote from only civil servants and full-time students and their spouses.
