Empty ballot boxes found, Elections Department lodges police report




By Leonard Lim



The Elections Department (ELD) has lodged a police report after they were alerted to a recent discovery of empty election ballot boxes.

In a statement on Saturday, it stressed however that there were no implications on the secrecy of the vote and electoral process.

The ELD did not specify where the boxes were found, but a report on a socio-political site on Friday showed photos of empty ballot boxes purportedly found in a school storeroom last week. They appeared to have been used in the 2011 Presidential Election, in the electoral division of Bishan-Toa Payoh.

Empty boxes are discarded after the elections, the ELD said. It added that these are supposed to have been collected by their contractor, along with other discarded items, from counting centres for general disposal.

Contractor orso from PMO office?

Very fishy. Even if the contractor had cock-upped, why didn't anyone from the school say/do anything for 2 years?

Just a genuine mistake and overlook by the contractor, KPKB for fuck?

All elections were rigged since 1963 according to this guy:

This is a manifestation of a larger issue: that employees in many organisations often see things that they are uncomfortable about but they never say anything about them. Who do they say to? Often the avenue to make complaints does not exist. And whistle-blowers often face severe consequences. This is even the case with the election boxes. It seems that no one said anything to officials. The matter only came to light when someone took pics of the boxes and sent them to TR Emeritus. The matter would remain hidden if that person did not send the pics.
