  "account": "Melaka PKR state leadership council acting chairman Adam Adli Abd Halim has urged young voters in the state to make informed decisions during the 16th Melaka state election, scheduled for November 14. With 47.34% of the registered voters in Melaka falling in the 18-39 age group, these young voters possess the ability to influence the future of the state administration. It is crucial, according to Adli, that they choose leaders with integrity and avoid being swayed by sentiment or hate politics. He emphasized that young people bring a unique energy and courage to the table, which can contribute to positive change. In PKR's candidate selection process, seven new faces will be fielded for the 10 state seats being contested. This decision was made after meticulous assessments to ensure the candidates were well-suited for their respective constituencies and had strong support from grassroots machinery, with special consideration given to young leaders. PKR aims to win in several identified seats and increase its vote count in all contested constituencies compared to the 2021 election, which had a voter turnout of 65.85%. The Election Commission has set November 14 as polling day, with early voting taking place on November 10.",
