SINGAPORE: The Elections Department apologised on Thursday after a printer wrongly sent out test prints together with the correct poll cards, resulting in almost 10,000 voters getting two cards each.
The printer, Toppan, had sent out test prints of poll cards to a total of 4,803 households, which corresponds to 9,822 voters from Tanjong Pagar GRC. The affected voters are assigned to vote at St Margaret's School, Tanglin Community Centre, Farrer Park Primary School and Delta Sports Hall polling stations within Tanjong Pagar GRC.
Affected voters can then dispose of the erroneous or duplicate poll card, it added. They may also call 1800-CALL-ELD if they need assistance."ELD would like to assure Singaporeans that processes are in place to ensure that voters with two poll cards will only be able to vote once at the correct polling station as voters will also need to produce their NRIC, which will be verified against the polling station register at the polling station.
