Whether you’re a first-time voter or regular voter, here’s a quick refresher on the voting process during polling day:

1. Line up for a ballot box at your polling station.

2. Election ushers will cross your name from a voter list, hand you a ballot, and mark your fingers with ink.

3. Ensure there are no markings on your ballot as this will disqualify your vote. Call the EC officer if you notified any markings on your ballot.

But What Happens After Voting?

The voting period will run from 8 am to 6 pm in Peninsular Malaysia and from 7 am to 5 pm in Sabah and Sarawak. Votes will be tabulated in front of scrutineers made up of representatives of the candidates once voting is completed. The chief of the polling place and the scrutineers will sign from Form 14 to certify the results when the count is finished. The paperwork will be collected by a returning office, who is an election officer responsible for tallying the votes. The next government will be form by the party or coalition that secures a simple majority of 112 seats.
