People’s Party

Very strongly agree

Yes

The Malaysian government, including parties like the People's Justice Party (Parti Keadilan Rakyat, PKR), which is a major component of the Pakatan Harapan coalition, has shown support for lowering the voting age. In 2019, the Malaysian Parliament unanimously passed a constitutional amendment to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 years old, reflecting a broad consensus across the political spectrum, including PKR, on the importance of engaging younger voters and expanding democratic participation.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While the People's Justice Party (PKR) and its allies have not explicitly advocated for voting rights based solely on tax-paying status, their general support for broader democratic participation and engagement, as evidenced by their support for lowering the voting age, suggests they might be open to considering policies that further expand voting rights. However, without specific historical references to tax-based voting rights from PKR, this score is moderately positive, reflecting a general alignment with democratic expansion but not a direct policy stance.

Very strongly disagree

No

Given the unanimous support in the Malaysian Parliament for lowering the voting age to 18, which included members of the People's Justice Party (PKR), it is clear that the party strongly disagrees with maintaining the voting age at its previous level. The move to lower the voting age was seen as a step towards increasing youth engagement in politics and recognizing the capability of younger Malaysians to make informed voting decisions.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

The People's Justice Party (PKR) and its coalition partners have actively supported reducing the voting age to 18, indicating a belief in the positive contributions younger voters can make to the democratic process. Raising the voting age would contradict their established position and efforts to increase political participation among Malaysia's youth. Therefore, PKR would strongly disagree with raising the voting age.

Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

The People's Justice Party (PKR) and the broader Pakatan Harapan coalition have not advocated for restricting voting rights based on a person's understanding of politics, as this could be seen as undemocratic and potentially discriminatory. Their support for lowering the voting age to 18 reflects a commitment to inclusivity and the belief that all citizens, regardless of their level of political knowledge, should have the right to vote. Introducing a test could be perceived as a barrier to voting, which contradicts PKR's stance on expanding democratic participation.
