Previously, residents would have to be brought to a polling station outside of the nursing home.More than 2.7 million Singaporeans are expected to vote and the polling stations will be open until 8pm, after which counting of the votes will begin. Voters must bring along their original or digital NRIC or valid passport, and poll card or ePoll card to their polling station for registration.The poll card will indicate to voters where their designated polling station is. Likewise, the same location will be stated on the ePoll card. Voters can check the number of people queuing at their allotted polling station by using the VoteQ website and keying in their postal code. The VoteQ link can also be accessed on the ePoll card via the Singpass app or by scanning the QR code on the physical poll card.This was among the improvements made to the voting process, drawing on lessons from the 2020 General Election. The number of polling stations has gone up from 1,097 to 1,264 - a 15 per cent increase. This will bring down the average amount of voters allocated to each station from 2,400 to 2,150.In the polling booth, voters can use the X-stamp, which has replaced the X-pen, or their own pen to mark the empty box beside their choice of candidate. Votes will not be counted if marked outside the box. Ballot papers should then be folded in half and dropped into the ballot box before leaving the polling station.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":215029706129520,"gmtCreate":1693534392218,"gmtModify":1693534394711,"author":{"id":"3585001294737518","authorId":"3585001294737518","name":"Universe宇宙","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3585001294737518","idStr":"3585001294737518"},"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/STI.SI\">$Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$&nbsp;</a> <a href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4141429963588842\">@TigerGPT &nbsp;</a>&nbsp;Is 1 Sep 2023 a public holiday in Singapore?

Previously, residents would have to be brought to a polling station outside of the nursing home.</p><p>More than 2.7 million Singaporeans are expected to vote and the polling stations will be open until 8pm, after which counting of the votes will begin. </p><p>Voters must bring along their original or digital NRIC or valid passport, and poll card or ePoll card to their polling station for registration.</p><p>The poll card will indicate to voters where their designated polling station is. Likewise, the same location will be stated on the ePoll card. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/824f99fdf65d50ba331f8130dd506ded\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"830\" tg-height=\"468\"/></p><p>Voters can check the number of people queuing at their allotted polling station by using the VoteQ website and keying in their postal code. </p><p>The VoteQ link can also be accessed on the ePoll card via the Singpass app or by scanning the QR code on the physical poll card.</p><p>This was among the improvements made to the voting process, drawing on lessons from the 2020 General Election. The number of polling stations has gone up from 1,097 to 1,264 - a 15 per cent increase. This will bring down the average amount of voters allocated to each station from 2,400 to 2,150.</p><p>In the polling booth, voters can use the X-stamp, which has replaced the X-pen, or their own pen to mark the empty box beside their choice of candidate. </p><p>Votes will not be counted if marked outside the box.

Singapore has introduced a one-off public holiday for its presidential election polling day on Friday September 1.SINGAPORE: Polls opened on Friday (Sep 1) morning as Singaporeans began voting for the country's ninth President. The three candidates for the 2023 Presidential Election - the first contested election since 2011 - are former GIC chief investment officer Ng Kok Song, former senior minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam and former NTUC Income chief executive Tan Kin Lian.Eligible voters started casting their ballots at 8am when polling stations opened.But queues were already beginning to form at some stations before opening time, such as the Waterway Primary School in Punggol where a line of people could be seen waiting outside its gates.At the start of polls, they began to build up at some locations across the island.The Elections Department Singapore (ELD) said in a statement on Friday morning: \"As voting will last until 8pm, we advise voters to arrive at the polling station later in the day, especially in the afternoon when the queues are usually shorter.\"We seek voters’ patience and understanding as we clear the morning queue.\"When CNA arrived at a polling station at the void deck of Block 307, Jurong East Street 32, there was a line of people waiting to cast their ballot.A check on the ELD website at 8.35am showed that between 141 and 160 people were in the queue. But the bottleneck seemed to clear about 15 minutes later.One voter who arrived at 8.12am told CNA that he waited for about an hour for his turn, adding that he needed to cast his ballot in the morning as he had to head off to work.Over at the Society for the Aged Sick nursing home in Hougang, Mdm Lee Dan Lin was the first resident there to cast her vote.The 75-year-old described the process as \"convenient\", and said the entire process took just five minutes for her. This is the first time a polling station was set up in a nursing home. Previously, residents would have to be brought to a polling station outside of the nursing home.More than 2.7 million Singaporeans are expected to vote and the polling stations will be open until 8pm, after which counting of the votes will begin. Voters must bring along their original or digital NRIC or valid passport, and poll card or ePoll card to their polling station for registration.The poll card will indicate to voters where their designated polling station is. Likewise, the same location will be stated on the ePoll card. Voters can check the number of people queuing at their allotted polling station by using the VoteQ website and keying in their postal code. The VoteQ link can also be accessed on the ePoll card via the Singpass app or by scanning the QR code on the physical poll card.This was among the improvements made to the voting process, drawing on lessons from the 2020 General Election. The number of polling stations has gone up from 1,097 to 1,264 - a 15 per cent increase. This will bring down the average amount of voters allocated to each station from 2,400 to 2,150.In the polling booth, voters can use the X-stamp, which has replaced the X-pen, or their own pen to mark the empty box beside their choice of candidate. Votes will not be counted if marked outside the box. Ballot papers should then be folded in half and dropped into the ballot box before leaving the polling station.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":11,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
