A total of 2,594,740 Singaporeans are eligible to vote in the next General Election (GE), according to the Elections Department (ELD).

The current figures mark an increase of 134,256 electors from the 2,460,484 of eligible voters recorded by ELD prior to the last election in 2015.

In a statement on Mon (15 Apr), ELD said that the Registers of Electors have been certified are now “available for public inspection”.

Singaporeans may check their particulars in the registers via the following channels:

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

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

However, citizens who wish to have their name restored in the Registers are encouraged to apply early, as the ELD will not accept applications from the date the Writ for an election is issued.

Applications will only be reopened after Nomination Day if the election is not contested, or until after Polling Day if a poll is to be taken.

Singaporeans residing abroad for an aggregate of at least 30 days between 1 Feb 2016 and 31 Jan 2019 and whose names are available in the Registers may continue to register as overseas voters at one of the designated overseas polling stations if they have not done so after 1 Feb this year.

Citizens overseas who wish to check their particulars in the Registers may do so at Singapore missions serving as polling stations in New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, London, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Canberra and Dubai, reported The Straits Times.

“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,” said ELD.

The Department added that such applications will only be processed after Nomination Day if the election is uncontested, or until after Polling Day if a poll is to be taken.

男子垃圾屋中猝死 要抬出尸体先搬出垃圾

男子疑在家中厨房猝死,但是因为垃圾堆满屋内,甚至高达天花板,以致尸体发出异味才被发现。而查案人员为了将尸体抬出来,必须先“挪动”将近10余辆推车的垃圾到屋外后,才成功抬出尸体。 此事件于上周六(9月28日)晚上9时17分发生在勿洛北1道,第519座组屋12楼的一个单位内。 据邻居指出,该单位内住着一名68岁的男子,每周都会搬垃圾回家,而市镇会每周也会派人来打理。“但是在两周前开始就没有看到他,也没有看到他的门外有垃圾堆,就觉得很奇怪。” 该报警的邻居表示,他于27日就闻到该单位内传出异味,且越来越浓,周围邻居都有同感,因此在当晚就报警了。 搬出逾十垃圾回收箱杂物 另一名邻居表示,隔天(28日)就看到民防部队抵达该单位,强行撬开大门后却不进屋,原来是因为屋内的垃圾过多,堆到门口且高至天花板,让人无法入屋。 警方人员和民防部队都站在单位外等候,不久后就见市镇会的清洁员工出现,开始垃圾清理工作。 经过两个小时后,清洁员工自单位内搬出超过十个垃圾回收箱的杂物,其中包括有塑料袋、塑料盒、纸皮箱和各类被废弃的家具。 警方和民防部队之后进到屋内展开调查,并且抬出尸体。 警方随后证实死者为一名68岁男子,倒卧在单位内,被发现后经救护人员证实已死亡,警方将此案列为非自然死亡案件,目前已经展开调查。 据邻居指出,死者生前时糖尿病和高血压患者,于一年前突然暴瘦,但是对于死因都表示不清楚。 回溯今年5月,在淡滨尼12街第157座组屋一个单位发生火患,屋内堆满杂物,外号“黑人”的60岁拾荒叔受困其中,因吸入热气,遭浓烟呛死在厕所内。
