SINGAPORE – Singaporeans eligible to vote in the next general election can check their names in the updated voter rolls, which will become available for the public to inspect from March 25.
The number of eligible voters in the voter rolls after the latest revision is 2,758,095, the Elections Department said in a statement on March 24.
That is an increase of 104,153 eligible voters or electors since voter rolls were last updated in April 2020.
ELD said the number of eligible voters was compiled based on electoral boundaries as at Feb 1, 2025.
“With the changes to the electoral boundaries, the Elections Department is currently preparing the composite Registers of Electors,” it said.
Composite registers are compiled by transferring the relevant polling district or districts to its new electoral division, based on the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) recommendations.
The EBRC report released on March 11 is a key signal that the next general election is around the corner, as is the updating of voter rolls. Singapore must hold a general election by November 2025.
The ELD said: “We advise electors to wait for ELD’s subsequent announcement on the certification of the composite Registers of Electors before checking their particulars in the registers.
“In the interim, those who still wish to check their particulars in the registers based on the Electoral Divisions prior to the implementation of the EBRC’s recommendations may do so electronically.”
Singaporeans can use the voter services at the ELD website or under “My Profile” and sign on with the Singpass app.
The ELD said those who are unable to check their particulars in the registers electronically may do so at any community centre or club or ServiceSG Centre, or at the ELD office.
However, they will need to make an e-appointment via the ELD website or calling 1800-225-5353.
Overseas Singaporeans who cannot check online can check their particulars at Singapore overseas missions serving as overseas registration centres.
There were 2,653,942 electors in the certified registers in April 2020, and polls were held later that year in July.
In 2015, the voter rolls were certified in April, ahead of the election on Sept 11 that year.
In 2011, Polling Day was on May 7, less than three months after voter rolls were certified on Feb 22.
