Singapore’s upcoming General Election (GE2025) will see over 2.75 million eligible voters, reflecting an increase from the 2.6 million voters in GE2020. The Elections Department (ELD) has certified the revised registers of electors, which will be available for public inspection starting March 25, 2025. With this development, Singapore moves a step closer to the highly anticipated elections.
Certified Registers and Public Inspection
The ELD announced that a total of 2,758,095 electors are included in the certified registers, compiled based on electoral boundaries as of February 1. The registers will be open for public inspection through electronic means, ensuring transparency in the electoral process.
Eligible voters can check their particulars via:
- Voter Services on the ELD website
- Singpass app under their profile
- Community centres and clubs
- ServiceSG Centres and ELD offices
- Overseas Singaporeans can check at designated overseas missions
Updating Electoral Boundaries
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has emphasized that the certification of the registers is a crucial milestone before GE2025 is officially called. The ELD is currently compiling composite registers, incorporating polling districts based on the recommendations of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC).
Electors are advised to wait for ELD’s subsequent announcement regarding the certification of the composite registers before verifying their voter details under the newly defined electoral divisions.
Increase in Voter Base
The number of eligible voters has risen from 2.6 million in GE2020 and 2,709,407 in the 2023 Presidential Election. This growth reflects demographic changes, including new eligible voters and updates to the electoral rolls.
Conclusion
With the certification of the revised registers, Singapore is on track for GE2025. Citizens are encouraged to check their voter eligibility and stay informed about the upcoming election process. The increase in voter numbers signifies growing democratic participation, ensuring that every Singaporean has a voice in shaping the nation’s future.
