Ya I think so too

 

[Lchlch]

Low turn out also doesn't matter anything at all.

 

[SG SUPERMAN]

Long weekend la all go holiday

GE2020 Pandemic cannot go holiday so higher percentage

 

[bluerhino]

Blame it on the super long weekend. Schools closed on Monday and many schools used for polling are on HBL on Friday. So can go Tuesday night and come back Monday night. Long enough to go Japan.

All go holiday...

It was a planned gamble to hold it on a long weekend. Quite a few people I know already had trips booked. Very few people would cancel and forfeit holidays just to do their duty

 

[xdivider]

most folks would have bought mayday holiday 3 months in advance........

 

[Ahboy069]

[EDMW-Hates-Me]

About 1% lower, okay lah. Last time polling card wrote could be fined or jailed right? Now kind of common knowledge that you will just be kicked out of the register, not a punishment to bochap people at all.
