SINGAPORE — Residents of more than 4,800 households in Tanjong Pagar have received two poll cards for the upcoming presidential election due to an error made by the appointed printer.

Of these 9,822 voters, 9,354 received two poll cards with different voter serial numbers. The remaining 468 voters received two poll cards with identical information. ELD said it 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.

The department said it had received feedback from some voters who had received the extra cards. It is reaching out to affected voters to inform them of their correct voter serial number, it added.
