Attempts to lower the voting age to 18 from 21 would require amendments to the Federal Constitution and therefore could not be implemented immediately, said the Election Commission.
During a press briefing today, EC voter registration division secretary Yusniati Ishak said the commission could not lower the voting age on its own as Article 119(1) of the Federal Constitution had to be amended first.
