Sibuk bersanding, pengantin tetap mengundi pada saat akhir

Nur Azlina Buang, a 33-year-old woman, voted in Merlimau during the PRN Melaka 16 polling day, despite her wedding with Amirulzaman Mohd Yusof, 34, being scheduled for the same day. She and her future husband had planned the wedding a year prior, even before the Election Commission set November 14 as the polling day. Nur Azlina shared that November was chosen for their wedding as it was a birth month for her.

She admitted that it was a concern for her to balance her wedding preparations with her civic duty as a voter, but her family advised them to continue with their plans and seek assistance from all parties involved. Nur Azlina stressed that missing her duty to vote was not a reason to overlook her responsibility as a voter, as each vote is crucial in determining the nation's direction.

The PRN Melaka 16 saw 79 candidates competing for 28 DUN seats, with 687,697 eligible voters registered. There were 240 regular polling centers with 1,213 ballot boxes provided nationwide.
