The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections () or Bersih (meaning clean in Malay) is a coalition of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) which seeks to reform the current electoral system in Malaysia to improve its democracy by ensuring free, clean and fair elections among other reforms.
The idea of Bersih was initiated by five opposition parties in 2005 which later included other NGOs in this as well.
