As many as 2.65 million Singaporeans are expected to vote in the general election from 8am on Friday (July 10).
They will cast their votes at 1,100 polling stations across the country.
A total of 10 opposition parties and one independent candidate are challenging the ruling People’s Action Party in this election, where Singaporeans will pick 93 Members of Parliament.
Seats in all 17 group representation constituencies (GRCs) and 14 single-member constituencies (SMCs) are being contested.
No ballot papers will be issued after polling closes at 8pm.
Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, arrangements have been made by the Elections Department (ELD) to ensure the safety of voters.
Each voter has a recommended time-band to cast their ballots on polling day, so as to spread out the crowd across polling hours.
To minimise their interaction with younger voters, senior voters aged 65 and above have been assigned time bands between 8am and 12 noon, said the ELD.
