Mohd Shah Riduwan Abdul Rahman, 37, wore the costume while walking almost 100 metres from his home towards the Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Bukit Sagu 1 Polling Centre.
Throughout his journey Riduwan had been crowded by children and became the focus of residents to take pictures together with him.
He worked as the Felda Bukit Sagu 1 staff admitted that he was excited to vote because previously the responsibility was carried out by post.
"I wanted to make voting different this time because previously I voted early by postal vote and could not feel the atmosphere of voting with the public.
"However, I have a choice in this election, I have changed my voting area and could vote together. I am excited because of it I wore the Ironman costume to vote," he said when met by reporters in front of the SK Bukit Sagu 1 Polling centre, here, on Saturday.

Riduwan informed the efforts were done to pull the interests of many, especially his children to come out with him and vote.
When asked regarding why he chose the Ironman war machine mark 3 model costume, he said it was due to the costume looking fierce and great.
"In the future, I suggested wearing the transformer costume and the order has been placed," he said using almost RM2,500 for the purchase of the costume.
Riduwan said his family gave him their full support towards the efforts.
