## Redelineation started, no deadline given
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil confirmed Sarawak's electoral boundary review has begun but refused to commit to completing it before the next state election.

> We (the federal government) will make every effort. The process is already in place and has begun.
## Election Commission still working details
The EC said it needs to settle several matters before announcing when the issue will go to Cabinet for decision.
## Anwar promises more seats for Borneo
The Prime Minister agreed to increase parliamentary representation for Sabah and Sarawak beyond current levels, in line with the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
## Constitutional changes will be needed
Anwar said the decision to boost Sabah and Sarawak's representation will require amendments to the Federal Constitution.
## Review depends on constitution amendments
EC chairman Ramlan Harun said the boundary review will proceed subject to changes being made to the Federal Constitution first.
## Still at stage four of sixteen
The EC told a public session that the redelineation process involves 16 stages under the Federal Constitution and is currently at the fourth stage.
## Public feedback open until September 30
The proposed boundaries are on public display until September 30. Anyone opposing the recommendations can submit representations during this period.
## Key takeaway

Sarawak's electoral boundary review is in progress at stage four of sixteen, with public feedback open until September 30, but no completion deadline has been announced.
