Federal Constitution has to be amended before changing voting age from 21 to 18

SEREMBAN: Only the ruling party can decide if the voting age should be lowered from the present 21 years, Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said.

He said the change could be done only if it had a two-thirds majority in Parliament or if it received the support of the majority of MPs as it involved amendments to the Federal Constitution.
