Those days of panicking to register as a voter at the post office is now over as future voters can now register online. The SPR has just launched a brand new portal named MySPR to make it easier for voters to register. Existing voters can also benefit from this portal as it allows them to change their addresses as well.
It only takes 3 easy steps to register with MySPR. First, head on over to the registration page and fill up the information needed. Then, upload a photo of your IC and a selfie of yourself with your IC. After that, you should receive an activation email and a TAC code to activate your account. The last step is to fill up Form A which is the voter registration form with the voter’s information, a witness’s information and then send it in with a TAC code. If you didn’t know, a TAC code is a code sent via SMS to your phones so you do need a valid telephone number to register.
3 easy steps
FYI, in order to qualify as a voter, users must be aged 18 and above, must be a Malaysian citizen, lives in the area they wish to be registered to vote and must not be penalized by any laws. All applications will be checked manually and applications done between 8AM and 12PM on any work day will be processed on the same day. Applications done after 12PM will be processed on the next working day.
For those looking to change their addresses also need to register for an account. After that, simply fill up form A and make sure to print it out for future reference. For any information, you can simply call the SPR at +603-8892 7018 during working hours or reach them online on their website. Now that the voting age limit has been reduced to 18, would this move encourage more citizens to vote in GE15? Keep up with the latest Malaysian tech news and beyond on TechNave.com!
