Electoral system

Main article: Elections in Malaysia

The system adopted by MYS Malaysia in elections is noticeably different from real-life. Voters in Roblox do not vote for local state legislatures. Thus, the ballot used by voters to cast their vote only directly impacts legislation on the federal level, therefore electing representatives in Dewan Rakyat.

The Dewan Rakyat, after the Third Amendment to the Federal Constitution (Act 90) which passed the house on May 7 2021, increased the seats in Dewan Rakyat from 26 previously to 30. The majority required to control the confidence of the house also changed from 14 to 16.

The entire electoral process and the distribution of seats to running parties is to be overseen by the Election Commission of Malaysia (EC, or more commonly referred as SPR) which is managed by the Administration.
