SINGAPORE - Singaporeans serving stay-home notices will be able to leave their homes to vote at their assigned polling stations on Polling Day, but can only do so during a one-hour slot.
Covid-19 patients and those who are on quarantine orders, however, will not be allowed to vote; to reduce the risk of community transmission. There are about 350 voters in these two groups as of Tuesday . These voters will have to abide by strict rules, including travelling to their assigned polling station directly and returning home immediately after voting.
During normal voting hours from 8am to 7pm, temperature checks will be done. Those found to be running a fever, with a body temperature of 37.5 deg C and higher will not be allowed to enter, and will be asked to return later. Candidates and polling agents are allowed to observe during the allocated hour, but will not be required to wear the PPE"as they will not come into close contacts with voters", said the ELD.
