EC: Automatic voters’ registration will greatly affect electoral system

PUTRAJAYA: It will be difficult to implement the automatic voters' registration system in the country because it will have a significant impact on the overall electoral system in Malaysia, says Election Commission (EC) chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.

He said according to Article 119 of the Constitution, anyone who wanted to be a voter must apply as a new voter and it clearly gave the right to citizens to choose whether to sign up or not.
