<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">In Malaysia, voting is underway for 222 parliamentary seats and 505 state seats.&nbsp; Polling stations for the 14.9 million registered voters opened at 8 AM local time. According to Malaysian Election Commission, 24 percent turnout has been recorded after two hours of polling. The main contest is between Prime Minister Najib Razak's ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition and former Prime Minister and opposition leader Mahathir Mohamad's coalition Pakatan Harapan. Most results are expected before midnight. Malaysia uses a first-past-the-post electoral system, where the party that gets the most seats in parliament wins even if it does not win the popular vote.</span></div>''<div class="yj6qo" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"></div>
