Authorities open 28 nomination centres for the 16th Melaka State Election (PRN Melaka) on the same day, with centres starting operations at 9am. The reports state that the nomination process is held simultaneously across Melaka.

Alongside the opening of nomination centres, outlets highlight the electorate size. One report says 687,697 registered voters are eligible to decide the outcome of the 16th PRN Melaka. Another report also notes the same figure as part of the election backdrop. Overall, the different emphasis is on either the logistics of nomination-centre readiness or the scale of the voter roll, with both themes presented as part of preparations for the election.
