About the data

What this site is built from, how it was checked, and what it does not cover.

Unofficial and educational. Not affiliated with the Election Commission (SPR), any political party or any government body.

How the data was checked

  • 82 / 82: Checked against official results

2021 results are taken from the official statements of the poll published in the Federal Government Gazette, P.U. (B) 687/2021. Every seat is checked automatically: candidate votes must add up to the valid votes, the majority must equal the winner's votes minus the runner-up's, and valid, rejected and unreturned ballots must add up to the ballots issued. The site is not built if any check fails.

The gazette prints the ballot label "GPS" for GPS candidates. The component party (PBB, SUPP, PRS or PDP) comes from the Malaysian Election Corpus (MECo), an open research dataset; its totals match published tallies.

Seat background notes are written from named sources, then checked sentence by sentence by a separate reviewer before they appear.

Known limits

  • Boundaries are the 2015 delimitation, digitised by MECo (not official Election Commission maps) and simplified for display. Use them to find a seat, not to decide which seat an address is in.
  • Division (bahagian): 46 seats are listed by a Resident's Office; 0 are derived from their parliamentary seat; 36 are not yet sourced.
  • Election dates come from news reports of the Election Commission's announcement on 6 November 2026; the official SPR statement had not been located online when this was built.
  • Seat notes flag known issues in the official record, for example a printed turnout figure that does not match the gazette's own counts.
  • This site does not predict results and does not endorse any party or candidate.

What each section is based on

  • Past elections and the 2016 results: ElectionData.MY (open CC0 data), a secondary source. Figures for 2016 and earlier have not been checked against the official gazettes.
  • Voter guide: paraphrased from official Election Commission pages and its 1981 regulations, and fact-checked by a second reviewer. Anything we could not check in an official source was left out.
  • Candidates: copied from the Election Commission's nomination list and checked by a second person before they appear. Nothing is shown before nomination day.
  • Party pages: counts from the same sourced election data. They are listed alphabetically and are not ranked. We state no party history that we have not sourced.
  • Followed seats are kept only in your own browser.
  • Search runs in your browser and sends nothing out. Share buttons are plain links to other services; nothing is loaded from them. The news page lists links only, with the same filters for every outlet.

How news links are chosen

Coverage links come only from the published news feeds of these outlets: TVS, Borneo Post, Dayak Daily, Free Malaysia Today, New Straits Times, New Sarawak Tribune, Utusan Borneo, Astro Awani. We show the outlet's own headline, its name and the date, and link to the article. We never copy article text.

The feeds are checked every 30 minutes. A link is kept only if its headline is about Sarawak and the election, it is from the last 14 days, and it is not from an opinion, letters, sponsored or press-release section.

The same rules apply to every party and candidate: the filters never contain party or candidate names. A link is placed under a seat only when its headline clearly ties the seat's name to the contest (for example 'the Pelawan seat'). A place name alone is not enough, because most seat names are also towns, rivers or ordinary words. When in doubt, no link is shown.

Being listed does not mean this site agrees with or endorses an article. Links can be removed on request, for example if a headline is inaccurate or names a private person.

Links from TVS are listed first because it is this site's partner; every other outlet follows, newest first. The same filters and limits apply to every outlet.
