Welcome to the Malaysianpollster.com Malapportionment Map!

This website is a tool for explaining the problem of malapportionment in the Malaysian electoral system.

When you type the name of a place within Malaysia, the website will search for this location on the map and provide information about the parliamentary seat at this location.

A graph will also be displayed showing information about five different parliamentary seats. The length of each yellow bar indicates the voter population of that seat compared to the selected seat:

Kapar. This seat in Selangor in the most highly populated in all of Malaysia with a massive 146,118 voters. The seat with the highest population of voters out of all the seats in the state where the peg is currently located. If for instance the peg was located in Selangor this would be Kapar The seat that is currently selected. A new seat can be selected by searching in the search bar or by dragging the yellow location peg around the map. The seat with the lowest population of voters of all the seats in the current state. If for instance the current state were Selangor, this would be Sabak Benam with only 37,102 voters Putrajaya. This seat has the smallest population of all seats in Malaysia with only 17,332 voters. As a result a single vote in Putrajaya is over 8 times more powerful than a single vote in Kapar.
