SINGAPORE – The release of the electoral boundaries report on Friday (March 13) has set off speculation about when the general election might take place.
Observers had earlier picked out two possible windows for this year – March to April and May to mid-June – both of which are now in play given the timing of the report.
A significant delay prompted by the Covid-19 outbreak now appears unlikely.
Dr Felix Tan, associate lecturer at SIM Global Education, said: “With the report coming out sooner than expected, we are perhaps looking at some time in the May period.”
He said that the election is likely to go ahead in the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak.
“The Singapore Government will want to get this election over and done with, so it can focus on tackling the issue of the pandemic, which is getting worse around the world,” said Dr Tan.
