Election Data

ElectionData.MY is a pioneering initiative that serves as the public face of the Malaysian Election Corpus (MECo), dedicated to providing open, accessible, and usable election data for Malaysia. This civic and academic project aims to digitize and standardize election information from 1955 to the present, ensuring that details about candidates, parties, seats, and election results are consolidated in one user-friendly platform.

With a strong commitment to independence and neutrality, ElectionData.MY is free from political affiliations or financial influences, allowing them to curate data with the utmost integrity. Their open-access model, under the public domain (CC0), ensures that researchers, journalists, developers, and voters alike can utilize the high-quality data without restrictions. A particular focus on data quality has led to the meticulous manual digitization of historical election results and boundary maps, making this resource dependable and effective. ElectionData.MY aspires to work alongside the official Election Commission of Malaysia to enhance public access to electoral information, ultimately fostering a better understanding of democracy among Malaysians.
