Contested latest GE
Active means the party or coalition appears in the latest national parliamentary GE records available to the dashboard.
Latest GE activity
Which Malaysian parties are active, dormant, or missing from the latest GE?
SCALP separates parties that contested the latest national general election from parties that have older GE records but did not appear in the latest GE dataset.
Previous GE record only
Missed means the entity has general election history but does not appear in the latest GE scope being inspected.
No Malaysia GE record
Some entities may be state-focused, newly mapped, or present in metadata without a national parliamentary GE history.
Why this matters
Malaysian politics has many party names, aliases, splinters, coalitions, and older labels. A plain list of parties can make a dormant party look just as relevant as a party that recently contested seats. The activity view helps separate historical presence from current electoral participation.
- Use the latest GE filter to see current market activity.
- Compare missed parties against their last contested GE.
- Check aliases before concluding a party is gone, because some records map to another name.
