By-election was special for first-time voters

BINTULU: The Jepak by-election yesterday was special for the constituency’s young and first-time voters as it was the first time that they got to choose a representative in the Sarawak legislative assembly.

This is because the last state election took place on Dec 18, 2021, just before the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 on Dec 31 that year.
