Introduction the Election Commission is, subject to the framework of laws on election, duty bound in its conduct to ensure that elections are "free" and "fair".
The establishment of the Election Commission, consisting of a Chairman, a Deputy Chairman and five other Members, is laid down in Article 114 of the Federal Constitution. Members of the Commission are appointed by His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong after consultation with the Conference of Rulers. In appointing the members, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong “shall have regard to the importance of securing an Election Comission which enjoys public confidence”.
Main Function The main functions of the Election Commission are: 1) review and delimit Parliamentary and State Constituencies at intervals of not less than eight years, following the date of completion of the last review ; 2) carry out registration of electors and revision of electoral rolls ; and 3) conduct general elections to the House of Representatives and State Legislative Assemblies, and undertake by-elections arising out of casual vacancies.
Policy
- to safeguard, supervise and maintain the democratic process of the country through free and fair elections - to ensure that the people are able to elect freely their representatives by direct votes at any election.
