Tbh I don't think they will cut it so close... Nov 2025 is the latest, but what if there's a national emergency? What if sentiments then aren't too good? Also, it's usually done during school hols when schools are used as polling centres. So end May, June, or Sept are likely dates. But even Sept I feel it's cutting it too close.

Few top civil serpents already resigned and last day is 01April.

moi guess is GE likely in early/mid May.

these serpents will not have salary for April after resigned. if GE happens just after May Day rally when PM can emphasise the good thing PAP achieved.

Timing is essential.. boundaries drawn.. delay will only give oppositions more time to consolidate and negotiate among the groups.. and pull resources to walk the ground..grass
Aunties hearing gossips in RC grassroots activities, already asked their children not to plan holidays in May, especially before mid-May.

Most people already preparing for 10 May election polling date.

The whatsapp message going around is something like this:

Nomination Day
28/4/25

Election Campaign
2/5-8/5/25

Cooling-off Day
9/5/25

Voting Day
10/5/25

😊

I personally believe the actual dates are one week earlier. The above whatsapp message was probably delibrately spread around to test balloon or something.

If cooling off day is labour day, it will be damn weird, cuz labour day will have speeches. So, high chance cooling day on 2nd May instead.

Also, map announced on 11 March.

High chance, 1-2 weeks earlier than the dates in the circulating whatsapp message.

I really don’t know. I only know this whatsapp message spreading among Singaporeans.

Anyway, my best guess is 3rd May polling day. This year labour day speech will be very high stake.

It won't be so soon la. LW wants to hold on to power as long as possible.

Snap election straight away kena kick out buay sian meh.
Aiyah, no matter what, with current economy being worse than previous years and our gov still coming up with lackluster policies, people can feel how bad the atmosphere is, likely pap will keep majority because there are always dense people that still believe in them or selfish rich people because they don’t want finances to change, but highly doubt they will still have super majority.

From the EBRC report to election day is 2-4 months based on past elections. Highly unlikely will be so far away in November

No, they refrain from holding elections during school holidays cos this is only time for teachers to travel.

Election must be held by Nov this year, thus, may is a high possibility.
Very likely 2 May for the long weekend.
