We are calling for your support to petition the government for the timely implementation of the right to vote at 18 years old. We believe that youths need to be empowered and their voices be heard, especially through the right to vote. 

The My Vote My Right 18 petition is a nationwide campaign to petition the government for implementation of lowering the voting age from 21 to 18, as passed by the Malaysian Parliament in July 2019 to amend Article 119(1)(a) of the Federal Constitution.

The petition calls upon the government to ensure that this amendment is honoured as initially promised by this year, 2021. It was recently announced that the implementation of the amended Act would only take effect in September next year. Hence, this will affect the eligibility of 1.2 million 18-year-olds to vote in the coming general elections.

You can also support and sign the petition at all The Body Shop Malaysia stores nationwide. 

Youth MUST be allowed a Voice!
