SINGAPORE - There will be more polling stations serving residents in the upcoming presidential election, as well as a new stamp to help voters mark their choices on ballot papers.
These were among the improvements to voting arrangements announced by the Elections Department on Monday.In 2020, ELD had to debunk false claims on Polling Day itself that the then new self-inking X-Pens provided at polling booths did not stamp properly, and that that would render many votes invalid.ELD said on Monday that it would be introducing a new X-stamp for the upcoming election – one that is wider and more clearly intended to serve as a stamp.
Each polling station will also have more registration counters and ballot paper counters to reduce voter waiting time.In the 2020 General Election, a VoteQ website allowed voters to check on the queue status at polling stations. Voters had to remember the URL and key it in to access the site.
