SINGAPORE - If you failed to cast your vote at the 2025 General Election, you will be able to apply to restore your name to the Registers of Electors from May 30.
In a statement on May 29, the Elections Department (ELD) said that Singaporeans can check their particulars and voter status online, and apply to restore their names, on the ELD website
The names of eligible voters who did not cast their votes during GE2025 were removed from the Registers in accordance with the Parliamentary Elections Act, said ELD.
It encouraged such non-voters to apply to restore their names so that they are able to vote in the next election.
Under the law, ELD will not be able to restore their names once the writ for an election is issued.
Those who are unable to check their particulars in the Registers electronically may do so at any community centre or club or ServiceSG Centre.
They can also do so at the ELD office by making an e-appointment via the ELD website or by calling 1800-225-5353.
The lists of community centres or clubs and ServiceSG Centres can be found at www.onepa.gov.sg/cc www.psd.gov.sg/servicesg
Overseas Singaporeans who are unable to check their particulars online may do so at Singapore overseas missions serving as overseas registration centres.
A list of such centres can be found at www.eld.gov.sg/voters_opsorc.html
GE2025 saw the lowest voter turnout by percentage since 1968
After the addition of overseas voters, GE2025 saw a total turnout of 92.83 per cent, with 2,438,610 of 2,627,026 registered voters in contested constituencies casting their ballots.
Political observers said the likeliest explanation for the lower turnout in 2025 was that Singaporeans had already made travel plans before the May 3 election was called, taking advantage of the May Day holiday that fell on a Thursday.
