Singapore's Elections Department (ELD) has initiated a second round of public inspection for its certified registers of electors, a critical step ahead of the island nation's next general election due by November 2025. The updated registers now list 2,758,095 eligible voters after incorporating boundary revisions and demographic shifts.
The latest review reflects electoral boundaries established on February 1, with adjustments made on March 11 following recommendations from the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee. Changes were driven by population redistribution and new housing developments, underscoring Singapore's commitment to maintaining equitable representation.
Authorities are currently preparing composite registers to align polling districts with revised electoral divisions. Voters are advised to wait for official notifications confirming their assigned polling stations. This meticulous process aims to ensure accuracy and accessibility for residents across the city-state.
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who directed the voter register revision in January, is set to lead the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) into the upcoming polls. The exercise builds on best practices from Singapore's 2023 presidential election, which saw robust voter participation.
