Guide on Internet Censorship Monitoring 15th Malaysia General Election
Guide on Network Censorship Monitoring and Testing of Malaysia's 15th General Election (GE15)
GE15 will be held on 19 November 2022 with Nomination day on 5 November and 15 November set for early voting.
Malaysians will elect Members of Parliament for the 15th Parliament of Malaysia and also for those in Perak, Pahang, and Perlis, their respective Members of State Legislative Assembly.
In the last GE14, we reported blocking of Malaysiakini's live voting site: live.undi.info
As part of our efforts to increase the transparency of Internet censorship, Sinar Project will be monitoring internet censorship during this event by collecting evidence of network interference and internet censorship using OONI Probe and OONI Run.
We are focusing on collecting evidence of internet censorship on instant messaging apps and targeted websites that are potentially at risk of censorship, particularly news and media sites, and NGO sites.
