Johor polls: Parties must think out of the box to woo Undi18 voters, say analysts

KUALA LUMPUR: The upcoming Johor state elections will be a testing ground on how the new order of Undi18 voters cast their ballots and political parties must “think out of the box” to entice local youths, say analysts.

Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) political analyst Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said political parties may rely heavily on social media to reach out to youth voters, but he warned that support may not translate to votes if youths weren't convinced to cast their ballots.
