Well, well, well, it’s that time of the political season again. Yeah, we’re talking about voting. For many people, the customs and procedures leading up to the voting day itself is an old hat. But, for those of us who are new and have no clue what to do or who need a refresher, then this is for you.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll probably know that Malaysia’s 15th general election will be held on 19th November. It might seem like a long way off, but there are things that need to be ironed out before you vote. Aside from clearing your itinerary for the day, here are a few other things to do:

1. Check your registration

Once you hit 18, you are automatically registered as a voter. However, it doesn’t hurt to ensure that you are registered and that your details are correct. Simply go to the website MySPR Semak, and check your registration by entering your IC number. Additionally, you can also check on your constituency and voting venue. After all, you wouldn’t want to show up without knowing anything on voting day, right?

2. Bring your IC

Officials will be checking your Mykad on that day, so, don’t forget to bring it. They will mainly be doing so to ensure you are who you say you are, and to ensure you can only cast your ballot once. Also, you probably don’t need the reminder, but make sure to keep your IC safe on that day. You don’t want to lose it.

3. Dress appropriately

While we understand the comfort of being in casual clothing, dressing for the important occasion matters. After all, you may be denied entry if you are not dressed decently. As such, do avoid wearing singlets, slippers, shorts, or skirts. In fact, most would recommend long pants and toe-covered shoes. Also, some advise voters to wear politically neutral shirts (no political party logos, names, or colours).

4. Clean your nails

Much like in school, double-check your fingernails before you vote because you’ll need them clean. If you have nail polish, do remember to remove it prior to voting as you will be dipping your left index finger and fingernail into indelible ink. This is mainly to signify that you have voted.

5. Be on time

Yes, we know everyone is going to be there and there will probably be long queues anyway. However, it’s better to be early than late. After all, you don’t want to miss being able to vote simply because you couldn’t be bothered to wait like everyone else, right? Also, going there early ensures less chance of ghost voters, and hey, you won’t have to rush while still being able to enjoy the rest of your day afterward!

6. Check your ballot

Your ballot should come with a serial number and a stamp. This will indicate that the ballot was unmarked before you received it. Also, after marking your ballot, ensure it is clean, save for your X marking the candidate of your choice. Any other markings may void your vote. If you notice smudges or marks on the ballot, reach out to a nearby staffer. Do not leave the booth.

Candidates will be named on 5th November. In the meantime, keep an eye on the news, brush up on the political scene if necessary and start thinking about who you’ll vote for. After all, as cliché as it sounds, Malaysia’s fate is partially in your hands.
