All Students Abroad may Vote, says EC

In a surprise announcement on 11 April 2012 –barely a week after the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on electoral reforms finalised its report, the EC announced  that  all full-time students studying overseas have the right to vote pointing out  that the Malaysian embassies abroad  were not acting in accordance with the law in denying private funded students the right   to vote.  Previously the embassies only allowed government financed students to vote. All full-time students abroad are eligible to be registered as voters if they have proof that they are full-time students in accordance with the  Election (Registration of Electors) Regulations 2002.  The same right is accorded to their spouses.http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/all-students-abroad-may-vote-says-ec/

The EC however did not spell out how these students can cast their votes.
