6. Use Malaysiakini's redelineation checker
Voters can key in their state, state constituency (DUN), and polling district into the redelineation checker that was developed by the Malaysiakini editorial team.
According to Malaysiakini, the database has been updated to reflect the boundaries in the final redelineation report presented to Parliament today.
The checker does not include Sabah and Sarawak as the redelineation exercise for Sarawak was finalised before the state election in 2016, while the Sabah redelineation report was not tabled in Parliament.
