Jack Yu, a Malaysian living in Hong Kong, is eager to vote in the upcoming election for his home state of Johor. However, he has found himself unable to participate after missing the brief window to register for a postal vote.
The election, scheduled for July 9, 2026, is significant for many Malaysians abroad, who wish to have their voices heard in the political process back home.
Unfortunately, the tight deadlines imposed on voter registration have left many expatriates like Yu feeling frustrated and disenfranchised.
