Registered to vote?

A registered elector can check his or her registration status by calling the headquarters of the Election Commission or the State Election Officers at Tel : 03-88856500.

Information you need to provide are:
1) Name
2) Identity Card number

You can also check if you are on the elector's roll online on SPR website. Just key in your old or new NRIC number and the following information will appear:

Kad Pengenalan (NRIC)
Nama (Name)
Jantina (Sex)
Lokaliti (location noted on your NRIC)
Daerah Mengundi (allocated place to vote based on where you reside)
DUN
Parlimen (Parliament)
Negeri (State)
Status Rekod : DATA INI UNTUK SEMAKAN DAFTAR PEMILIH (information for verification by voter)

Check to see if your personal information and the location you are to go to vote are correct. If you have moved and the information has not been updated, all you have to do is to go to a Post Office with computer facilities near you to update your records. The officer in charge at the Post Office will provide you a Form A to fill in. You must register in person with your NRIC as you are required to sign on the form. A copy will be given to you.

You can also register as a first time voter at any Post Office near you. Go to POS website to locate one that has computer facilities.

SPR also has an "FAQ" page. If your questions are not answered, you can call or write to:
