Go further with electoral reforms

GOOD news is at hand on electoral reforms. The Pakatan Harapan presidential council has agreed to automatic voter registration of citizens who reach 18 years of age and a Bill has been tabled in Parliament to lower the voting age to 18. That should be the way. Citizens aged 18 would also be allowed to stand as candidates for general elections.

To further enhance our electoral reforms, I would like to suggest a fair and equitable representation for each constituency. Every constituency could have 50,000 voters with a variation of 5% to10%. It matters not whether it is rural or urban; it is the fundamental principle of one man, one vote.
