The Election Commission (EC) has announced its intention to review Malaysia's electoral boundaries if constitutional amendments are approved to boost parliamentary representation for Sabah and Sarawak. According to EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun, the commission has taken note of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's proposal to amend the Federal Constitution.
This amendment would allow for additional parliamentary seats in Sabah and Sarawak, in line with the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). Ramlan stated that any increase in parliamentary seats for these two states would also consider the constituencies in Peninsular Malaysia, ensuring that the ratio of representation for Sabah and Sarawak is higher than the current level.
He added that the EC would provide further clarification once there is an official decision and sufficient information to make the matter public. Anwar Ibrahim, during the 2026 meeting of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 Implementation Action Council in Sabah, announced the planned amendment to the Federal Constitution to accommodate more parliamentary seats for Sabah and Sarawak.
