KUALA LUMPUR: Despite 6.2 million new voters being eligible to vote in the 15th General Election (GE15), institutional barriers remain and will prevent many from voting, say election analysts.

Some voters in and out of the country are finding it difficult to vote due to the time factor, travel costs and an archaic postal voting system for overseas voters.
