State elections in 2022 were first held in Johor in March 2022 after the dissolution of the legislative assembly in January 2022.[1]

On 10 October 2022, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced in a special announcement on television that the Dewan Rakyat would be dissolved, hence paving way for the 15th General Election.[2] Additionally, he recommended that other states with the exception of Johor, Malacca, Sarawak & Sabah do the same.

Consequently, Barisan Nasional Chairman, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi proclaimed that the legislative assemblies of BN-led states (Perlis, Pahang & Perak) would be dissolved simultaneously.[3] On 14 October 2022, the Perlis and Pahang state legislatures were dissolved.[4][5] Perak followed suit three days later.[6]
