    Revised Registers Of Electors Certified, Open For Public Inspection

    The revised registers of electors have been certified and are now open for public inspection.

    In a statement today, the Elections Department revealed that there are a total of 2,460,484 voters on the rolls.

    Eligible voters may check their particulars at the Elections Department or at community centres with their NRIC or passport, or online at the Elections Department website.

    Those overseas can also check their particulars at the 10 overseas missions that serve as overseas registration centres.

    People whose names were removed from the voter rolls because they failed to vote at a previous election may continue to apply to have their names restored, the Elections Department said.

    Meanwhile, eligible voters who are overseas, and who have resided in Singapore for at least 30 days between Feb 1, 2012 and Jan 31, 2015, may register as overseas electors to vote at a designated overseas polling station.

    With the revision to the rolls, Singaporeans overseas who had previously registered as overseas voters will also need to re-register.

    The Elections Department added that those applying to restore their names to the rolls or to register as an overseas voter should do so early, as applications will close when the Writ of Election is issued.

    Elections Department: Registers Of Electors Revised, Open For Public Inspection

    The registers of electors have been revised and will be open for public inspection from Feb 24, 2015 to Mar 9, 2015, the Elections Department said in a press release on Monday (Feb 23).

    The revised registers contain the names of all qualified electors and may be checked through four channels:

    • Online at the Elections Department website
    • At community centres or clubs
    • At Singapore overseas missions that serve as overseas registration centres
    • At the Elections Department, located at 11 Prinsep Link, Singapore 187949

    The latter three methods will require the individual’s NRIC or passport.

    INCLUSION AND REMOVAL OF NAMES FROM REGISTERS

    During the inspection period, a person may submit a claim or objection to include or remove his name from the revised registers of electors.

    A claim to update one’s particulars can also be submitted during this period.

    These changes can be made via the four methods stated above. Claims and objections submitted online must be done via SingPass.

    RESTORATION OF NAMES AND REGISTRATION AS OVERSEAS ELECTOR

    Singaporeans whose names were removed from the registers of electors for failing to vote at a previous election may apply to restore their names to the registers.

    Overseas Singaporeans, whose names are listed in the registers and who have resided in Singapore for at least 30 days between Feb 1, 2012 and Jan 31, 2015 may register as overseas electors.

    Following the revision of the registers, overseas Singaporeans who have been registered earlier as overseas electors will also have to re-register to vote at any one of the designated overseas polling stations.

    The registrations can be done through the abovementioned channels. Applications will close with the issuance of the Writ of Election.

    OVERSEAS POLLING STATION IN DUBAI

    The Consulate-General of the Republic of Singapore in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) has been designated as an overseas polling station for future elections. This is in addition to the nine overseas polling stations at Singapore’s overseas missions in New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, London, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Canberra.

    The Elections Department said the overseas polling station in Dubai will facilitate overseas voting and registration for overseas Singaporeans in the Middle East region.
