GE2025: S’poreans can check names from March 28 in voter rolls based on new electoral boundaries​

SINGAPORE - From March 28, Singaporeans who are eligible to vote in the upcoming general election can check their names in the voter rolls, which have been updated based on the new electoral boundaries.

They can access the Registers of Electors either through the Elections Department (ELD) website by clicking on the “Voter Services” section, or logging in through Singpass and going to “My Profile”.

Those who cannot do so online can visit a community centre or club or a ServiceSG Centre, said ELD in a statement on March 27.

Singaporeans can also visit the ELD office by making an appointment online through its website or by calling 1800-225-5353.

The latest update to voter rolls includes transferring the relevant polling district or districts to the new electoral division, based on the recommendations by the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC).

On March 11, the EBRC published its report – a key sign that the next general election is around the corner. A general election must be held by November 2025.

Singaporeans living overseas and are unable to verify their particulars online can go to a Singapore overseas mission that also serves as an overseas registration centre, of which there are 10, said ELD.

The missions are in Beijing, Canberra, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai, Tokyo and Washington, DC.

Singaporeans whose names were removed from the voter rolls because they failed to vote in a past election can still apply to have their names restored, ELD said.

Under the law, Singaporeans will not be able to restore their names during the period between the Writ of Elections being issued until after Nomination Day if the election is not contested or until after Polling Day, if there is a contest.

“They will consequently not be able to cast their vote at GE2025,” ELD said.

It added that overseas Singaporeans whose names are in the Registers of Electors can register to vote by post or in person at one of the 10 overseas polling stations.

Registration can be done through the ELD website or physically at one of the 10 Singapore overseas missions.

To qualify, overseas Singaporeans would have needed to have resided in Singapore for an aggregate of at least 30 days within a three-year period before the day they register to be an overseas voter.

Registration is open throughout the year but applications will not be processed from the third day after the election writ is issued until after Nomination Day if the election is not contested or until after Polling Day if there is a contest.

“We encourage eligible overseas Singaporeans to register as overseas electors early if they wish to vote overseas at GE2025,” ELD said.

Progress Singapore Party

PSP made quite the splash in the previous general election, securing the best-performing loss of the GE in West Coast GRC, which in turn propelled Hazel Poa and Leong Mun Wai into parliament as NCMPs.

During a walkabout in Taman Jurong, now part of the West Coast-Jurong West constituency, Tan Cheng Bock said this area was "not new to him", he also said the party was keeping their "options open".

So can they build on their impressive debut in the last election?

Under our established criteria, technically everyone who ran for PSP in 2020 was a new candidate back then since that was their maiden election, but who might join the still relatively new party this time round?


Angela Oon

A former WP candidate for Nee Soon in 2011, Oon has been in PSP since 2020.

Image from PSP Facebook

Oon has been seen on walkabouts in the Chua Chu Kang area.

Potential constituencies: Chua Chu Kang GRC


Lawrence Pek

The former Secretary-General of the Singapore Manufacturing Federation was pictured with PSP's Leong Mun Wai at the National Day reception at the Istana.

Image from Pek's Facebook

According to a PSP video highlighting some of their volunteers, Pek said he met Leong around Aug. 2023, and that was how he got involved with PSP.

Potential constituencies: Chua Chu Kang GRC


Sani Ismail

The managing director of management consultancy firm Deesolo International has been touted as a potential candidate for the upcoming election, he also has one of those Facebook pages we talked about.



According to Zaobao, Sani has been involved with PSP since mid-2024. While he has been spotted in the Chua Chu Kang area, he was also part of the three new faces that was in the Taman Jurong walkabout.

Potential constituencies: Chua Chu Kang GRC


Stella Stan Lee

Lee, a former TV journalist, has been seen on walkabouts at the Chua Chu Kang area, and has been with the PSP since early 2024.



She was also one of the three new faces (Sani Ismail and Sumarleki) that joined Tan Cheng Bock on his walkabout at Taman Jurong.

Potential constituency: Chua Chu Kang GRC


Stephanie Tan

Tan is a full-time housewife and a former legal counsel. She was spotted with Tan Cheng Bock at the walkabout on Feb. 23 where he confirmed he was running.

Image from PSP West Coast FB

Tan has been with the PSP since Aug. 2023.

When asked if Tan would be running in the upcoming election, CNA reported Tan Cheng Bock as saying: "Are you asking me my secret? I’m not telling you, you will see it on nomination day".

She was also at their recent walkabout at Jurong West, along with Angela Oon and Lawrence Pek.

Potential constituency: West Coast-Jurong West GRC

Senior Counsel Harpreet could be running in East Coast or Marine Parade and both GRC need a Malay member?

Could be a multi racial team like the current Aljunied. He and another one malay.

SINGAPORE - Candidates in the upcoming general election can spend a maximum of $5 for each registered voter, up from $4 previously.

Spending more than the maximum amount is against the law, the department added.

ELD said the President has also designated the GRCs where at least one of the candidates standing for election must be a person belonging to either the Malay community, or Indian or other minority communities.

The GRCs where at least one of the candidates in each group must be a person belonging to the Malay community are: Aljunied; Bishan-Toa Payoh; Chua Chu Kang; East Coast; Jalan Besar; Marine Parade-Braddell Heights; Marsiling-Yew Tee; Pasir Ris-Changi; Sembawang; Sengkang; and Tampines.
