STATE POLLS | As a matter of consensus, the Election Commission (EC) usually looks for about 70 percent of voters to carry out their responsibility to determine the formation of the government, but there is a trend of decreasing voter turnout after the 14th general election in 2018.

Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) political analyst P Sivamurugan believes that the state election this time will show the same trend for each state because registered voters are describing it as not so important as the government has already been formed at the federal level.
