You can now e-register yourself at polling stations for the upcoming Presidential Election by scanning your IC. This is if you are in Chua Chu Kang GRC, Tanjong Pagar GRC or Yuhua SMC. Do you care?

Salleh Marican has submitted is papers to stand for Presidency. He was seen at the Elections Department with his family, friends and supporters. It remains to be seen if he will qualify as he does not meet the $500 million shareholder equity. He is also Indian-Muslim.

Turned out i wasn't even inside the 30% The truth is i did go down to vote.

Seeing that the ELD only seems to make reports against online media and opposition supporters, yesterday I made a police report about possible breaches of election advertising rules by the PAP. You can see pictures of the police report as well as all accompanying evidence below. I reported two instances of potential breaches, one during the Bukit Batok by-election and one during the General Election last year. You might ask why I am reporting these breaches only now, several months after the General Election. Well, I did report them, to ELD. But they didn't do anything. It was only when I saw the news report on Friday that ELD had made police reports regarding breaches of election advertising rules that I realised I should have contacted the police instead of ELD! It seems that enforcement lies with the police, not ELD.

It appears that a complain against the pro PAP Facebook page, Fabrications About The PAP, has been lodged with the Elections Department (ELD). It was reported that Fabrications About The PAP had shared a photo which showed DPM Tharman taking the stage during the rally. The caption was "Vote Murali because he's working for you. Not because you are part of a political journey." The post was made on Polling Day. According to ELD, posting election advertising on Cooling-Off Day and Polling Day is prohibited, as this campaign silence period is meant to give voters time to reflect rationally on issues raised before going to the polls.

In the wake of an embarrassing slip up by elderly care center Swami Home, which breached its Constitution when it hosted a People's Action Party (PAP) press conference for Sembawang GRC on 14th August, the Elections Department (ELD) has issued a new set of guidelines for political activities in the run-up to this coming election.

The Elections Department or ELD has released a slew of new guidelines for GE candidates to follow. The Parliamentary Election Candidates 2015 handbook, acts as a guide for election candidates and their polling agents to comply with all Parliamentary Election laws.

The office of President Tony Tan Keng Yam has released the Writ of Elections at 4PM today, in which he declared that nominations for political candidates would be held on 1st September. In the same hour, the Elections Department of Singapore also released its Press Release on General Elections 2015, which confirmed that polling day would be held on 11th September.

According to the Elections Department today, the revised registers of electors are certified and will now be available for public inspection. There are 2,460,484 electors in the registers, and Singapore citizens may check their particulars in the registers via the Elections Department website. They may also do so at community centers or clubs, at Singapore overseas missions that serve as overseas registration centres, and at the Elections Department with their NRIC or passport.

According to the ad, Elections Department is looking for "Training Support Executive" and "Training Facilitator", both are temporary position for 1-year with application dateline in mid-May 2014. Let's assume that the trainers were hired by August 2014, this means their tenure will end by August 2015. However, the ads stated that candidates are required "to be prepared to work extended hours under pressure during elections period".
