Posted: 20 April 2011 1122 hrs

SINGAPORE: Nomination papers for those seeking election are available for collection at the Elections Department starting Wednesday.

New People Action Party candidate Chan Chun Sing was the first person to turn up at the Elections Department.

He collected a CD containing the revised register of electors, soft copies of nomination forms, applications for the certificates of the Indian, Malay and other minorities communities.

The Elections Department says the forms will soon be available online.

Mr Chan said he came early as he wanted to avoid the lunchtime crowd.

He said the completed forms will be given to the PAP headquarters to be submitted on behalf of the candidates.

Mr Chan is likely to stand in Tanjong Pagar GRC.

The National Solidarity Party's (NSP) Abdul Rasheed Abdul Kudus was the next to turn up.

Mr Abdul Rasheed is standing in Jurong GRC.

He said he was there to apply for the certificate of Indian, Malay and other minorities communities committee.

He was joined by Ms Noraini Yunus who is also standing in Jurong GRC.

The other minority candidates from NSP are Ms Nor Lella Mardiiiah Mohamed who will be fielded in Chua Chu Kang GRC. There were also new faces, 29-year-old Abdul Salim Harun and 51-year-old Ramli Mohd. Both declined to reveal where they will be contesting.

The minority candidates are required to file their application for their certificates by April 23.

A Certificate of the Malay Community Committee has to be produced by candidates standing for election in a Group Representation Constituency (GRC) which is designated as a constituency that must have at least one candidate from the Malay community in that constituency.

Likewise a Certificate of the Indian and Other Minority Communities Committee has to be produced by candidates in a GRC which is designated as a constituency that must have at least one candidate belonging to the Indian or other minority community in that constituency.

GE: Candidates must declare election advertising platforms
By S Ramesh | Posted: 21 April 2011 1407 hrs

SINGAPORE: With the advent of the online media for the coming general election, the Elections Department has reminded candidates to make a declaration of the election advertising platforms they intend to make use of.

These platforms may either be maintained by the candidate themselves or someone on their behalf.

They need to make the declaration within twelve hours after the start of the campaign period.

The nine day campaign period begins once nominations close at noon on Nomination Day.

Candidates can make their declarations on the prescribed forms online through the Elections Department's website.

With the relaxation of election advertising rules here, election advertising can be conducted via platforms such as podcasts, videocasts, blogs, social networking sites like Facebook and micro-blogs like Twitter.

EVERYTHING you have wanted to know about the coming elections - from running as a candidate, the dos and don'ts on form filling to where you can address supporters on Nomination Day - is now available in a handbook published by the Elections Department of Singapore.

The 60-page guide to help aspiring candidates on their road towards Polling Day on May 7, is on sale at $7 each at the ELD premises on Prinsep Link.

The book, developed with the help of the Attorney-General's Chambers, has 10 sections, including information on how to fill up nomination forms, prohibited activities on "cooling-off' day and what happens post-election, like the destruction of ballots.

It also details when rival candidates for the same constituency can raise objections on Nomination Day, and other requirements like submitting a declaration of the election advertising platforms the candidates intend to make use of during the nine-day campaigning period.

Cooling-Off Day

Cooling-Off Day has been implemented to give voters some time to mull over the issues raised during the election before making a trip to the polls.

During these 24 hours, candidates are not allowed to campaign.

However, party political broadcasts are allowed.

I haved this feeling that cooling off day is working to a huge advantage for pap.

Why I say this? Well, cooling day is meant for the pple to think and reflect who is the best candidates to take the votes.

And as you see the above para, party political broadcasts are allowed. Meaning tv and radios will be honking all the summaries of the pap and opposition.

You tell me, which party will get the most broadcasts?

Now, you get what I mean?
