The Registers of Electors have been prepared and are open for public inspection from 26 Feb 2019 to 11 Mar 2019, which contain the names of all qualified electors as of 1 Feb 2019, the Election Department (ELD) announced in a press release on Monday (25 February).

The board stated that Singapore Citizens may check their particulars in the registers:

  • Online at the Elections Department website
  • At community centres/clubs2 with their NRIC/passport
  • At Singapore overseas missions that serve as overseas registration centres with their NRIC/passport
  • At the Elections Department with their NRIC/passport.

The addresses of the community centres/clubs and overseas registration centres are listed here and the Elections Department is located at 11 Prinsep Link Singapore 187949.

ELD stated that during the inspection period, a person may:

  • Submit a claim to include his name (if it has been omitted) or update his particulars (i.e. name and NRIC address) in the registers if his particulars in the registers are reflected differently from his NRIC.
  • Submit an objection to remove a name from the Register of Electors for the electoral division that the person is in.

Claims and objections may be submitted online using SingPass at the Elections Department website, or in person at community centres/clubs, Singapore overseas missions that serve as overseas registration centres and the Elections Department.

Restoration of name to registers

Persons whose names were removed from the Registers of Electors for failing to vote at a past election may apply to have their names restored to the registers, so that they can vote at future elections.

They are encouraged to apply early as no applications for restoration will be processed during the period from the date the Writ for an election is issued until after Nomination Day if the election is not contested, or until after Polling Day if a poll is to be taken, ELD said.

Registration as overseas elector

ELD stated that 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 3-year period between 1 Feb 2016 and 31 Jan 2019, may apply to register as overseas electors to vote at one of the designated overseas polling stations in future elections.

With the preparation of the Registers of Electors, overseas Singaporeans who had registered earlier as overseas electors will need to re-register if they meet the qualifying criteria as of 1 Feb 2019 and wish to remain as overseas electors. Overseas Singaporeans are encouraged to register early via the above mentioned channels, it added.

Application for registration as an overseas elector is open all-year round. However, in accordance with the law, applications will not be processed during the period from the 3rd day after the Writ for an election is issued until after Nomination Day if the election is uncontested, or until after Polling Day if a poll is to be taken.

日做近15小时!菲女佣被非法调派四户家庭打扫

因为印尼籍前女佣巴蒂成功翻案,女佣被非法调派其他地点工作的问题,亦开始引起关注。 人力部在本月8日的文告,显示只有24巴仙的女佣,会自行揭发雇主非法调派的恶行。至于女佣巴蒂在四年前,只因为向前雇主廖文良一家申诉将举报人力部,便被廖家解雇,廖家两日后报警指控巴蒂涉嫌偷窃近5万元财物,包括名表、包包等。 不幸的是,近期职总家庭佣工中心(CDE),亦揭发一名菲籍女佣,被不当要求到另外四户家庭打扫,每周一次还要打扫办公室,平均每日工作,都要长达14至15小时! 然而,这名女佣即使知道这是非法的,但碍于害怕失去工作,只能哑忍长达三年,都不敢向人力部等机构举报。 根据职总家庭佣工中心的脸书贴文,除了繁重的工作,女佣的睡眠和休息时间很短,该中心在介入此事后,协助向人力部举报。不料得知此事的雇主,还企图遣返女佣,所幸在中心介入下未能得逞。女佣最终找到可共事愉快的雇主。 根据规定,除了工作准证列明的住宅地址,雇主是不能非法调派女佣到其他地点工作的。 至于本地客工组织情义之家,也提及在疫情期间,尽管打扫公共组屋的工作量增加,但一些外籍清洁工友的薪资却没有提升,他们有者甚至要工作15至16小时。 即使有,有者仅领取每月区区50至100元的加班费,也缺乏休假和年假。而根据情义之家的估计,这些孟加拉籍的清洁工友,可能每小时工时仅仅二元。   We previously published…
