Malaysian State Elections 2023


State elections in 2023 will be held in Selangor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah and Penang.

During General Election 15 (GE15) last November, the Kedah, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan state governments decided not to dissolve their state government; hence state elections will have to be held now before the state parliament automatically dissolves after the deadline.

All the states have agreed to dissolve their state government around the same time to allow elections to be held simultaneously in these states. The following are important dates of the 2023 State Elections:

Candidate’s nomination – 29 July 2023, Saturday

Early Voting Day – 8 August 2023, Tuesday

Voting Day – 12 August 2023, Saturday

Voters in the states of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu will head to the polls on Aug 12, the Election Commission (EC) announced today.

Nomination will be held on July 29, while early voting will take place on Aug 8. 

EC chairman Abdul Ghani Salleh said a total of 9.7 million individuals are eligible to vote in the state polls.

"The EC has decided that the state elections will be held to fill 36 state legislative assembly seats in Kedah, 45 in Kelantan, 32 in Terengganu, 40 in Penang, 56 in Selangor and 36 in Negeri Sembilan," he said at a press conference after chairing a special meeting on the state polls at Menara SPR today.

Kelantan was the first to dissolve its state assembly on June 22, followed by Selangor on June 23. Penang, Kedah and Terengganu state legislative assemblies were dissolved on June 28, while Negeri Sembilan was the last to dissolve its state assembly on July 1.

A total of 245 state assembly seats will be contested in the six states.
