Get Ready to Shape Singapore’s Future!
Mark your calendars for May 3, as Singapore’s 2.75 million citizens prepare to make their voices heard in the upcoming general elections! This year, Polling Day is a public holiday, with polling stations open from 8 AM to 8 PM. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to help shape the nation’s leadership!
Essential Dos for Voters!
1. Vote In Person!
To make your voice count, you must cast your vote in person at the polling station listed on your poll card or ePoll card. Remember, no proxies allowed!
2. Bring Identification and Your Poll Card!
Make sure to carry your poll card along with a valid form of ID, like your NRIC or passport—no photocopies accepted! You can also use the Singpass app to display your ePoll card.
3. Travel Light!
When heading to vote, pack lightly. Expect security checks on bags, and leave cameras, alcohol, and sharp objects at home. Note, pets (except guide dogs) and children cannot enter polling centers!
4. Vote Clearly!
Make your choice known by marking an 'X' on the ballot. Fold it inwards and drop it into the ballot box. Remember: no leaving the polling station with your ballot!
Important Don’ts to Remember!
1. Don’t Alter Your Poll Card!
If there’s any wrong information on your poll card, avoid making changes. Contact the Elections Department or visit a community center for a replacement.
2. Don’t Help Others Vote!
Impersonating another voter is a serious offense. Election officials are available to assist those who need help, including the elderly and persons with disabilities.
3. Keep Voting Confidential!
Your vote is your secret—don’t reveal how you or anyone else votes. Let's honor the integrity of the democratic process!
Special Assistance for All Voters!
For those with special needs, rest assured that assistance is available. Special drop-off points, barrier-free access, and priority queuing ensure that everyone can participate in this civic duty.
Be Prepared and Get Ready to Vote!
By following these guidelines, you’ll help make the voting process smooth and efficient. Don’t miss your chance to influence Singapore’s future—your vote truly counts!
