NSP, PV, SPP and SDP delivered statements on voting hour extension

[Medicated Oil]

Exactly my sentiments.
Organisational skills

Seems like wp do really outshine the rest.

No point making noise now.
The urgent thing is to get as much as manpower to support the vote counting later.
Or react to any other sudden change.

Pruss one.

Get the work done.

Period.

I am more interested in what WP says

WP volunteers got shifts. And prolly lots of backup. So 2 hours is not that taxing on them.

Smaller parties harder to get volunteers. In another thread, someone said some people tank whole day, no one bought lunch for them and no one stands in for them for toilet break.

I'm voting AND counting agent. many people volunteering for my party are also both

but yes usually it's different role

Which party are you representing if you don't mind sharing?

You got shifts? Or tank whole day and night?

i saw some of the people having bento style dinners. i think meals are provided. the polling agents from the parties not sure though.
btw, the food looked like those catered for the fw dorms

Erm.... its food.

Would u rather have something to eat or none at all?

i was in fact heartened to know it's provided. it looked pretty good actually.

 

[Mecisteus]

i don't understand why so against the extention.
opposition by opposing this is depriving the right of citizens to vote right? then what talk so much about being the voice of the people in parliament against the incumbent?

Just an excuse to whack anything that is wrong.

2 hours is a good extension so that everyone has the chance to cast their votes.

And the votes can swing either sides.

Reminded moi of rast time ns after route march liao last minute still kena run SOC 5 times..

 

[Sultana]

Be careful wat u do. Got 天眼。Hope they can't sleep knowing they pwn ppl.

 

[LWZ]

Totally share Steve Chia's sentiment.

 

[toldyoall]

It’s even better to give time extension for more voters to cast their votes.

Some are not because they want to leave but because the extension coincides with the special voting hours (i.e. For SHN people). Then not enough PPE gear for all so they have to leave the area.

You think volunteers want to risk kena covid meh

This doesn't make sense. The polling agent know they are there to help watch the boxes to ensure no vote stuffing. They also know there will be a special voting hour for SHN/LOA people.

If they had planned to stay away during this hour, it also mean their key purpose is defeated. The PAP agents can easily stuff votes at this special voting hour regardless if there was an extension or not.

 

[Busbery]

Loser cries! Normal!

 

[toldyoall]

If the various opposition polling agents are responsible, they will make sure they see the process from beginning to end.

Not leave at 8pm sharp as previously promised.

Why on earth is she expected to say anything? Nothing to do with president what, unless you are saying the 2 hour extension ELD staff will be paid overtime out of the reserves?

The Parliamentary Elections Act gives the Returning Officer the power to extend voting hours - s39(3) of the Act, according to ELD.
