The Elections Department (ELD) will require the contracted printer of elections poll cards to tighten its quality assurance, after 9,822 voters in Tanjong Pagar GRC

ELD said in a statement on Aug 24 that Toppan had erroneously sent out test prints of poll cards together with the correct poll cards to 4,803 households – with 9,822 voters – in Tanjong Pagar GRC.

Ms Pereira on Monday also asked how the problem was identified, whether there were reports of confusion or problems faced by Tanjong Pagar GRC voters on Polling Day, and if any voters were unable to vote as a result of the issue. “It’s the same process, it’s the same printer, so we will work with the printer to make sure that we tighten this up,” he said.
