On September 4, the Election Commission (EC) of Malaysia celebrated its 69th anniversary, reaffirming its dedication to fair, transparent, efficient, and ethical management of the nation's electoral process. In a Facebook post, the EC highlighted its evolution over the past 69 years, continually adapting to enhance democratic systems through elections.
The EC has consistently worked to improve its service delivery, focusing on efficiency and transparency. The organization expressed its commitment to maintaining integrity and remaining a trusted democratic institution in safeguarding the country's democratic process.
Established on September 4, 1957, under Article 114 of the Federal Constitution, the EC initially consisted of a chairman and two members. The first chairman was Datuk Dr Mustafa Albakri Hassan, joined by Lee Ewe Boon and Ditt Singh. After Malaysia's formation in 1963, the commission's membership expanded to three, with an additional member appointed from either Sabah or Sarawak on a rotating basis. In 2002, the EC grew to seven members, including representatives from Sabah and Sarawak.
