Umno Youth to take legal action if EC doesn’t step up

PETALING JAYA: Umno Youth has threatened to take the Election Commission (EC) to court if it does not retract its statement and put into place the necessary steps to start registering youths aged between 18 and 20 as voters.

The EC’s statement that this can only be done in September next year goes against the constitutional amendment to enable 18-year-olds and above to vote, said movement executive council member Muhammad Nur Aizat Noor Azam.
