KUALA LUMPUR: The postal voting system in the country needs to be improved to avoid a low turnout of newly eligible voters for the 15th General Election (GE15), says the VoteMalaysia Coalition (VMC).

The youth postal voter advocate group said that many Malaysians overseas became eligible to vote with the voting age lowered to 18 and the implementation of automatic voter registration (AVR).
