what happens if on votting day,you are on tour, in hospital

nightzip SG

let's say you intend to go overseas for tour, then how to vote? can vote in advance? or phone who to say cannot make it??? Question

or let's say you are warded to hospital, so will the ballot center come to you or your parents vote for you or you just have to void the vote by not able to go???

Will NSF soldiers vote? PRs can vote?

vince69 SG

NSF soldiers just need to show their consitencies is not a walkover, then can bookout to vote (last time is like this lah). Smile

Ponders SG

Overseas, you will miss your voting chance and struck off register. But you will be reinstated if you apply for the next election without penalties.

Hospital same story.

read this site for reference http://www.elections.gov.sg/compulsory.htm

NSF soldiers will vote... though not many of them are 21 years old.

PRs cannot vote. So far i know in this world..... PRs in Australia can vote provided they are PRs with citizenship of a commonwealth country that the head of state is Queen E.

Qn on boundary

Say, I change address (Moved house) to another GRC/ SMC, do I vote back to the previous GRC/ SMC? Or depends when the registar is updated?

Ponders SG

The latter. Register updated.

Ponders SG

That's like the cheapest fine i ever heard in Singapore.

^tamago^ SG

Yes! Probably cos they thought there is no point in collecting so much since it's practically always a walkover... Laughing

Ponders SG

And so that the incumbent party will get more voters.

Also i think they got more than enough money from Candidates who got their deposits forfeited.

^tamago^ SG

Yes. One is enough for more than 2,000 such voters....
