KUALA LUMPUR, MAY 21 -- Election Commission of Malaysia has announced that the Supplementary Electoral Roll for April 2026 (DPT BLN4/2026) has officially been certified and gazetted, with the review process now open to the public for 30 days beginning today until June 19, 2026. In a media statement issued on Thursday, SPR secretary Datuk Khairul Shahril Idrus said the electoral roll was certified on May 20 and gazetted on May 21, 2026.           The DPT BLN4/2026 includes 39,111 Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above who were automatically registered as new voters between April 1 and April 30, 2026. The roll also contains 15,880 registered voters who changed their voting constituencies and 1,369 voters who updated their voter category or status. SPR has provided five methods for the public to review their voting information. Voters can check their status through the official SPR Portal, the MySPR Semak Portal, the MySPR Online Application, the MySPR Semak mobile application, or by contacting the Voter Registration Review Hotline at 03-8892 7218. In addition, the public may also access the official portals of State Election Offices through State Election Offices Portal for further information and downloadable forms. SPR urged citizens who turned 18 during the April 2026 period, as well as voters who applied to change constituencies or voter categories, to verify their details in the supplementary roll. Those who discover their names are missing may submit a claim using Form C either online through the MySPR application or by visiting their respective State Election Office. The commission also stated that registered voters who wish to object to the inclusion of voters who transferred into their constituency may do so by submitting Form D through the same channels. According to the statement, Forms C and D can also be downloaded from the State Election Offices portal and submitted to the relevant State Election Director together with the required objection fee during office hours throughout the review period. SPR advised the public to contact the commission directly or visit its official portal for any enquiries related to the DPT BLN4/2026 review process.
