State elections in 2022 were first held in Johor in March 2022 after the dissolution of the legislative assembly in January 2022.
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. 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. On 14 October 2022, the Perlis and Pahang state legislatures were dissolved. Perak followed suit three days later.
