The Elections Department (ELD) will be implementing new safeguards to prevent a repeat of what happened during this year’s Presidential Election, when some voters in Tanjong Pagar GRC received two poll cards. This was because the appointed printer mistakenly mailed test prints of the poll cards together with the actu

al poll cards to nearly 5,000 households. For future elections, ELD will require the printer to tighten its internal quality assurance processes to ensure that test-print poll cards are not mailed out. It will also conduct joint checks with the printer to ensure that test-print cards are destroyed before the production of actual poll cards.

Both parties will also do a sampling audit to check that details in poll cards are accurate, including ensuring that the number of poll cards printed for a constituency is exactly the same as the number of registered voters. Education Minister and Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing said this in Parliament on Monday . He was replying to MPs’ questions on behalf of the Prime Minister.
