SINGAPORE — The registers of electors will be open for public inspection from Feb 26 to March 11, the Elections Department said on Monday (Feb 25).

Singapore citizens who are at least 21 years old as of Feb 1 this year, and who are not disqualified as an elector under any law, will be allowed to vote. They must also have a Singapore residential address on their National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) as of Feb 1.

Singaporeans may check their particulars:

They should have their NRIC or passport with them.

Those who wish to check their particulars in the registers at community centres or clubs may do so only from 6pm to 9pm on weekdays and 3pm to 7pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

During the inspection period, a person can submit requests to include or remove his or her name or to update his or her particulars in the registers.

Persons whose names were removed from the register for failing to vote in a past election may apply to have their names restored to be able to vote in future elections.

REGISTERING TO VOTE OVERSEAS 

Overseas Singaporeans who have changed their address on their NRIC to an overseas address must also have a Singapore residential address registered with the Immigrations and Checkpoint Authority as of Feb 1 to qualify to vote.

Overseas Singaporeans whose names are listed in the registers of electors, and have resided in Singapore for an aggregate of at least 30 days during the past three years, may apply to register as overseas electors in order to vote at designated overseas polling stations.

Registration and checking of particulars can be done at Singapore overseas missions that serve as overseas registration centres. Those registering must have their NRIC or passport.

Singaporeans who registered as overseas electors in past elections will have to register again.

Registration as an overseas elector is open year-round, but overseas Singaporeans are encouraged to register early.

Overseas Singaporeans who wish to vote in the upcoming elections must register as an overseas elector by the end of the second day after the writ for an election is issued.
