As voters wait to hear the official final results of Singapore’s 13th General Election (GE), “sample counts” for each Group Representation Constituency (GRC) and Single Member Constituency (SMC) will be announced by the Elections Department (ELD).
In the previous GE2015, sample counts were released less than two hours after voting closed at 8 pm. For GE2020, voting was extended to 10 pm.
A sample count is conducted at the start of the counting process to provide an indication of the possible outcome of the election in that particular constituency.
The sample count is calculated based on a random bundle of 100 ballot papers cast at each polling station and picked by a counting assistant in front of the candidates and counting agents. The assistant then tallies up the number of votes for each candidate—or group, in the case of a GRC.
The votes are then added up, with the difference in the number of votes cast at each polling station taken into account. From there, a sample count for the constituency is shown as a percentage of valid voters garnered by each candidate or team.
We note that this is just a sample count; the final results could be different.
