EC to review electoral boundaries subject to Federal Constitution amendments

PUTRAJAYA - The Election Commission (EC) plans to review electoral constituency boundaries, contingent upon amendments to the Federal Constitution. EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun indicated the review aligns with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahims' announcement on Friday, regarding proposed constitutional changes to boost parliamentary seats for Sabah and Sarawak.

The seat increase will also affect Peninsular Malaysia's electoral constituencies, based on the idea that Sabah and Sarawak's representation will see increased ratios compared to the existing levels. Ramlan stated this in a statement today, adding that the EC would offer more details after an official decision and when there are updates to share with the public.
