Now that the cat’s out of the bag — the upcoming general election will be held on July 10 — the first question that comes to most of our minds are: Wait, do I have to vote?
To cut straight to the chase, if you’re a Singaporean citizen that’s 21 years of age (or older) as of March 21, 2020, you must vote in the upcoming election. Yes, voting is compulsory; it is not an option.
Why March 1, 2020? That’s when the Registers of Electors (a list of names of eligible voters) was prepared.
Hence, even if you were to turn 21 before polling day on July 10, you’d have to wait till the next election to cast your vote if your birthday is after March 1, 2020.
