About Elections in Singapore
General elections in Singapore must be held within three months after five years have elapsed from the date of the first sitting of a particular Parliament of Singapore.
Under the law, Polling Day at any General Election is a public holiday and every employer should allow every elector in his employ a reasonable period of time for voting. This is needed as voting is compulsory.
Unless the returning officer decides otherwise, polling stations are open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Voters must go to the polling stations assigned to them.
