Singapore could call for the general elections soon, with voters going to the polls as early as July, political observers have speculated.
Last month, Parliament passed a law to allow special and temporary arrangements to be implemented in order to protect voters, candidates and election officials, should the next election take place during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Elections Department (ELD) has since drawn up contingency plans for safety measures during polling proceedings, they announced today (June 8).
Here’s how polling day would be like with the new safety measures.

All voters would be subjected to temperature screening to identify anyone with a fever or respiratory systems.
A decision on whether they would be allowed to vote would be made later, based on the prevailing coronavirus situation.
