The Registers of Electors for all 23 constituencies have been certified and can be inspected at the Elections Department at Prinsep Link or any of the 105 inspection centres island-wide. The Elections Department said yesterday that people can also check their name online at www.elections.gov.sg
Registration for overseas voters remains open. People living abroad who want to be registered as overseas electors can apply online via the same website or at any of nine overseas registration centres. These centres are Singapore's diplomatic missions in Canberra, London, Beijing, Washington, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, San Francisco and New York.
The next general election is not due until February 2012. The last one was held in May 2006.
Parliament heard last month that the Prime Minister has not yet appointed the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee or decided when he will do so. Before past elections, the committee had issued a report reviewing electoral boundaries and divisions. In each of the seven general elections since 1980, polling day was within six months of the release of the report. In 2001, the gap was just over two weeks.
