The commission said candidate nominations will take place on Nov 5, providing for a 14-day campaigning period.
Caretaker Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced the dissolution of Parliament on Oct 10 with the consent of the country's King, Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah.
Datuk Seri Ismail on Thursday said that the 14-day campaign period announced by the commission was sufficient.
"There were times when the period was even shorter," he reportedly said after launching an entrepreneurship carnival in Selangor. For the 2018 election, the campaigning period was 11 days.
More than 20 million Malaysians are expected to vote for a new government, following more than two years of political turmoil that led to a snap election.
Concerns had been raised that the polls are being held close to Malaysia's annual monsoon season, which usually begins in mid-November and brings intense rain and flooding.
All 222 parliamentary seats will be up for grabs during the general election, along with the state legislative seats of Pahang, Perlis and Perak. Another state seat in Sabah - Bugaya - will also face a midterm election on the same day after a byelection there was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
