Election Day is a darkly humorous study of male friendship set against the simmering backdrop of the Malaysian elections. The witty sketch was written by Huzir Sulaiman and first staged in Kuala Lumpur in a matter of weeks after the high stakes political race of 1999 Malaysia General Elections; drawn from Huzir’s own experience as a volunteer for an opposition candidate.

The programme of "Election Day" features a shifty looking man wearing a suit holding a placard with a blown up image of his grin, set against a bright yellow backdrop framed with a thick red box. The title is in bold with the word Election in blue and the word day, and the credits in red.
