Analysts: Think outside the box to engage young

KUALA LUMPUR: Undi18 voters constitute a significant portion of the electoral roll and political parties must be creative in enticing this youth segment who will be casting ballots for the first time, say political analysts.

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