The Election Commission (EC) has announced it will review electoral constituency boundaries nationwide if Parliament approves amendments to the Federal Constitution to grant more parliamentary seats to Sabah and Sarawak. EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun stated that the EC took note of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's recent comments on the proposed constitutional changes.
The proposed amendments aim to increase the number of parliamentary seats for Sabah and Sarawak while also adjusting the electoral constituencies across Peninsular Malaysia. Ramlan explained that the EC will conduct a review of constituency boundaries in the three study units, provided that the Federal Constitution is amended accordingly.
The EC will provide further clarification once a formal decision has been made and relevant developments can be announced to the public.
