Only the Rulers participate in the election. A Ruler may appoint another Ruler as his proxy to vote on his behalf if he is unable to attend the Election Meeting.
Each Ruler is requested to indicate whether the candidate is suitable or not to be elected as Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The nominee must have obtained a majority of five votes before the Ruler presiding over the Election Meeting offers him the office of Yang di-Pertuan Agong. If the successful nominee declines the offer or the nominated Ruler fails to secure the required majority votes, the voting process is repeated with the nomination of the second most senior Ruler in the Seniority List of Rulers.
Rulers are named, and stand for election in turn. The process is completed only after the Ruler has accepted the offer of the office of Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The Conference declares the Ruler as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to hold office for a term of five years. The ballot papers are destroyed in the presence of the Rulers as soon as the result of the election is announced.
