The revised registers of electors have been certified on 27 Mar 2014 and are

registers.

2 Singapore Citizens may check their particulars in the registers: -

(b) At community centres/clubs (with NRIC/passport);
(c) At Singapore overseas missions that serve as overseas polling stations
(with NRIC/passport); and

Restoration of name to registers

3 Persons whose names were removed from the registers of electors for failing
to vote at a previous election (known as non-voters) may apply to have their names
restored to the registers, so that they can vote at future elections. They are
encouraged to apply early to restore their names to the registers as applications will
close with the issue of the writ of election.

4 Non-voters may apply to have their names restored to the registers of electors
online at the Elections Department website, or in person at community centres/clubs,
Singapore overseas missions that serve as overseas polling stations and Elections
Department.

Registration as overseas elector

5 Overseas Singaporeans, whose names are listed in the registers of electors
and have resided in Singapore for a total of at least 30 days during the 3-year period
between 1 Feb 2011 and 31 Jan 2014, may apply to register as overseas electors
and vote at overseas polling stations in future elections.

6 Overseas Singaporeans are encouraged to register early as registration will
close once the writ of election is issued. Re-registration as an overseas elector is
required with each revision of the registers. Under the law, the registers may be
revised from time to time, but in any case not later than 3 years after the last general
election.

7 Overseas Singaporeans may register as overseas electors online at the
Elections Department website, or in person at community centres/clubs, Singapore
overseas missions that serve as overseas polling stations and Elections Department.
