SHAH ALAM - Seventy-six per cent, or 860 of Sinar Ahad's online respondents, have already decided to vote for their preferred candidate for the 15th General Election (GE15), which will take place on Nov 19.

It was based on an online poll conducted by Sinar Ahad for 24 hours starting on Friday, involving 1,126 respondents on the Twitter and Instagram platforms.

The vote also found that a total of 903 voters on Twitter chose the answer, while on Instagram, a total of 229 voters also expressed the same decision.

In addition, as many as 45 per cent of respondents chose candidates as their primary criteria in this election, followed by the party factor, which is 27 per cent.

The criterion aspect saw 1,022 voters participated in the vote to determine what Malaysians would choose when they vote later.

The issue criterion received a vote of 13.2 per cent, while the lowest option selected by respondents was the manifesto.

Meanwhile, as many as 86.5 per cent of the 1,138 total respondents have expressed their intention to go out to fulfil their responsibilities on Nov 19, while 13.5 per cent said they would not vote.

Sinar Ahad took the initiative to hold the vote to see the 'mood' and voters' choice after the end of the first week of the GE15 campaign.

The voting conducted on the Twitter and Instagram platforms includes three questions: the main criteria for choice, the voter's decision on the preferred candidate and the choice of whether to leave on voting day.

In addition to this survey, last September, five multilingual media, namely Sinar Harian, Astro Awani, The Star, Sin Chew Daily and Malaysia Nanban, also collaborated to conduct a mega survey to find out the people’s voice.

The mega survey, which ended on Oct 9 last year received cooperation from three research firms which were Ilham Centre, Huayan Policy Institute Center and O2 Research Malaysia (O2).
