Data check

Checked against official results

2021 figures checked against the official statement of the poll published in the Federal Government Gazette. [1]

Notes on this seat's data: The gazette prints turnout as 46.97%, but its own figures (8,313 ballots issued / 16,975 electors) give 48.97%. This is probably a typo in the gazette. The site shows turnout calculated from the gazette's counts.

2021 results

Votes, electorate and ballot counts are from the official statement of the poll in the Federal Government Gazette. The ballot paper showed “GPS” for GPS candidates; the component party (PBB, SUPP, PRS or PDP) is from the Malaysian Election Corpus. [1] [2]
