*The Impact of Social Media on Young Voters in the Six States Elections*
The nomination of election candidates in 6 states in peninsular Malaysia took place on Saturday 29 July 2023. In GE15 there was a significant increase in young voters, that is a total of 7 million voters. What are the tendencies of young voters this time, what factors influence their choice.
According to Abqari- as a young Malay and Muslim, he will consider choosing and giving a chance to a party with a good record of service and administration. In Selangor, the areca nut island and the state of Sembilan show an increase in economy and administrative efficiency. But on the other hand in Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah - the PAS administration is less convincing.
Added to the case of the Kedah Chief Minister who was recently brought to court on charges under the sedition act for insulting the king of Selangor. The Menteri Besar of Kedah is also linked to the weakness of state governance. The weakness of the PAS administration will make it difficult for them to defend the states they govern. But according to Abqari, Not all young voters have good political knowledge. Therefore there will still be young voters who will vote based on emotions and not based on a good administrative record.
Asked what campaign medium most influenced young voters. Abqari is confident that social media such as FB and Tik Tok will be very effective in influencing young voters. Young people do not have time to attend talks. So they are only waiting for reports in the media. Abqari is confident that whichever party dominates the social media campaign will win a lot of seats. Overall, PH/BN is expected to win in Penang, Sembilan and Selangor. However, PN/PAS will win some seats, especially Malay majority seats. In Kelantan and Terengganu PN/PAS will remain in power. Except in Kedah it is not yet known which Party will win.
