The women are both named Khadijah Binti Husin, reside at the same address and have almost identitical dates of birth, according to the Election Commission's (EC) online database.
Both Khadijahs were born on Feb 2, though nine years apart.
Spouses of military personnel are allowed to register as postal voters under their partner.
The two women in question are registered alongside a soldier named Nor Hisham Md Darus.
Their identification card numbers are almost identical, with only a single differing digit.
Speaking at a press conference at the DAP headquarter in Kuala Lumpur today, Rasah MP Anthony Loke said it was too much of a coincidence for the two to be genuine and separate voters.
"Is there such a coincidence that one man has two wives with the same name and date of birth? We suspect this is the same person with two indentities.
Loke also challenged the media to prove him wrong.
"If the media can find these two women with the same name and birthdays and take a photograph with the husband, I will visit the family and give them a Hari Raya hamper," he announced.
Loke has lodged a complaint with the EC regarding the occurrence.
A check with the EC database today found that younger of the two women (with IC number 790220115182) has been removed from the database.
