Penang Institute has shown examples of "hard evidence" of the Electoral Commission's (EC) alleged sustaining and worsening malapportionment of parliamentary and state assembly seats in view of the coming general election.

The state think-tank has conducted a thorough analysis to examine the constitutional compliance of the EC's recommendation for 165 parliamentary and 445 state constituencies.

While presenting the report, PI researcher Wong Chin Huat said the EC's recommendations were found to be flawed in two major ways.

"They are sustaining non-compliance with Sub-section 2(c) and causing non-compliance with Sub-section 2(c)," Wong claimed.
