De facto Law Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said to date, there is no directive yet on whether to appeal the Kuching High Court's decision compelling Putrajaya to implement Undi18 by Dec 31.
As such, he said the government will comply with the court order to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 by the deadline.
"We will implement it according to the court ruling.
"Will we appeal or not? As of now, there is no directive from the government to appeal so effectively what is decided by the court is the law that needs to be abided by," he told journalists in Putrajaya today.
The new voting age was approved by Parliament in 2019 but has yet to be implemented.
