Sibuk bersanding, pengantin tetap mengundi pada saat akhir

Nur Azlina Buang, a 33-year-old woman, cast her vote at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sempang in Merlimau on election day, despite her wedding to Amirulzaman Mohd Yusof, 34, coinciding with the vote. The couple had planned their wedding a year before the Election Commission (SPR) set November 14th for the vote. Nur Azlina explained that November was their chosen wedding month as it came before their April 2023 marriage.

She told FMT after voting that they continued their plans because preparation was already half-way complete. Although Nur Azlina felt anxious about balancing wedding preparations and her duty as a voter, her family advised her to proceed with her plans and seek assistance from all parties involved. The PRN Melaka 16 election saw 79 candidates competing for 28 DUN seats, with 687,697 eligible voters registered. There are 240 regular polling stations with 1,213 voting channels set up nationwide.
