Google Inc, the search engine giant, is launching an elections hub to keep voters informed on election news, issues and political parties.

The election hubs, which is at google.com.my/elections, fetures the latest elections-related news and search trends, along with handy links to the political parties' websites and YouTube channels.

Users will be able to search for real-time election information within the website and tap into voter information resources compiled from various sources.

"Google's mission is to make information universally accessible and useful to users -- and this is definitely true for elections.

"We want to make sure Malaysians have access to all the information available to them in order to help them make a well-informed decision on election day," said a Google spokesperson in a statement.

Google Malaysia has worked with various parties to make the information available to the public. These parties include various Malaysian political parties, media owners and non-governmental organisations.

Once launched, the site will remain available as a future resource for Malaysian voters, including future general elections.
