  "account": "Melaka's young voters have been urged by PKR leaders to make informed decisions in the upcoming election, rather than being swayed by hate or sentiment. Adam Adli Abd Halim, acting chairman of the state leadership council, emphasized the importance of choosing leaders with integrity over emotion. As 47.34% of Melaka's registered voters are between 18 and 39 years old, they hold significant power to shape the state's future. Adli expressed optimism about the state's future, citing the active participation of the younger generation in the democratic process. PKR has taken a more meticulous approach in selecting their candidates, with seven new faces among the 10 state seats they are contesting. One such candidate, Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir, had previously contested in another constituency but is now running in her hometown, Kelebang. PKR aims to secure victories in several identified seats and increase the number of votes received 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.",
