Election period going to be 10 days for Sinkies to Think and
Worry (cool of day)...whether WE vote for the right party!
Singaporeans will get an extra 'cooling-off' day at the next
General Election, a 24-hour period during which campaigning will
not be allowed so that voters can reflect calmly on their
decision.
In announcing the change, which will also apply to the
presidential election, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the idea
had been on the table for many years.
The decision to finally go ahead comes in the light of another
significant set of changes to the election rules he proposed months
ago.
