Hi
I gather the following from a blog:
Registration for Overseas Voting Now Opened
.... if you are registering as an overseas voter, you have to
submit (and I quote a helpful email from the relevant authorities):
along with your application, ...your supporting documents for our
verifications--that's referring to the documents supporting your
qualifications under 13A, apart from the usual IDs, I presume.
Also: Your application must be made by the submission of a duly
completed and signed "Application to Be Overseas Elector" form to
the Elections Department or to any of the overseas registration
centres within the stipulated registration period (i.e 17 Jan 2006
to 6 Feb 2006). So do take note.
Section 13A of the Parliamentary Elections Act states that:
13A.(1) Any person who is entitled to have his name entered or
retained in any register of electors for an electoral division and
who
(a) is not resident in Singapore but has resided in Singapore for
an aggregate of 2 years during the period of 5 years immediately
preceding the prescribed date referred to in section 5; or
(b) is
(i) a member of the Singapore Armed Forces on full-time training or
service outside Singapore;
(ii) a public officer or an employee of any public authority
employed in full-time service outside Singapore;
(iii) a public officer or an employee of a public authority on
full-time training outside Singapore;
(iv) a citizen of Singapore of not less than 21 years of age on
full-time training outside Singapore that is sponsored by the
Government or any public authority;
(v) employed outside Singapore by an international organisation of
which Singapore is a member or by any other body or organisation
designated by the President under Article 135 (1) (c) (ii) of the
Constitution of the Republic of Singapore; or
(vi) the spouse or a parent, child or dependant of any person
referred to in sub-paragraph (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) and is
living with that person,
may, not later than 21 days after the date of publication in the
Gazette of the notice under section 10 (3) or 15 (2), as the case
may be, of the notice of completion of the register, apply to the
Registration Officer to be registered as an overseas elector for an
electoral division at
(A) any place in or near the electoral division specified in that
notice; or
(B) any overseas registration centre. [19/2001]
