Spoiling votes part and parcel of democratic process, says lawyer


PETALING JAYA: Spoiling the vote or boycotting elections are “part and parcel” of the democratic process, said constitutional lawyer Syahredzan Johan.

He said that unlike in Australia where voting is mandatory and a punishment sanctioned, there is no law requiring people to vote in Malaysia, even if they are registered voters.
