Public servants receive notification of election duties and online training
Several public servants have received emails from the ELD — some last month and others in the past week — notifying them of their appointments, five public servants told TODAY on the condition of anonymity.
Two of them confirmed that they have received the notification themselves.
The latest appointments come ahead of the looming September 2023 expiration date for President Halimah Yacob’s term of office.
Madam Halimah, 67, was sworn in as the
