Prime Minister Najib Razak dissolved the Malaysian parliament on April 3.
Nominations will begin on April 20, allowing for a two week campaign period.
Initially, the elections were set to be held on April 27, which only gave one week for campaigning.
Razak's National Front party has controlled parliament for fifty-six years, and this election will be their toughest.
Former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim leads the opposition, which is very hopeful that it won't just have a good showing, but believes it might be able to take the majority for itself.
