GovTech · Election Commission of Malaysia (SPR)

SPR Open Data Portal

A civic-tech open data platform turning decades of Malaysian election data into something the public can actually read.

01The story

From challenge to result.

01The challenge

SPR holds one of the richest datasets in Malaysian public life, and almost none of it was accessible to the citizens, journalists and researchers it exists to serve. Raw files are not transparency.
02Our approach

We designed a data-first portal built on narrative rather than tables — headline figures that carry meaning, a searchable dataset catalogue, an infographic library, and a live 'what changed' feed. Every number links back to its source dataset.

key features built and delivered, live today.
