SINGAPORE – A total of 18,389 Singaporeans living abroad have successfully registered as overseas voters and will be notified via e-mail on the polling process after Nomination Day on April 23.
They are among the 2,758,846 registered voters for the upcoming polls, said the Elections Department (ELD) on April 18.
Of the registered overseas voters, 9,759 will vote by post, while the remaining 8,630 will vote in person at overseas polling stations.
These are in Beijing, Canberra, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai, Tokyo and Washington.
For the 2025 General Election, the Tanjong Pagar electoral division has the highest number of registered overseas voters at 1,703, followed by East Coast’s 1,484 voters. Holland-Bukit Timah has 1,424 registered overseas voters.
Singaporeans who have successfully applied to be overseas voters will receive an official e-mail from the ELD. Applicants may also log in to the ELD’s Voter Services to check their application outcome.
The ELD will notify overseas voters via e-mail on the polling process after Nomination Day should their electoral division be contested.

The details on allotted polling stations in Singapore are on the poll card, which will be sent to voters’ registered Singapore NRIC address or local contact address.
These details will also be available after Nomination Day on the voter’s ePoll card, which is accessible on the Singpass app and the ELD’s Voter Services using Singpass.
At the polling station in Singapore, registered overseas voters will have to declare that they have not already voted in the same election before they can be issued a ballot paper for voting.
“Every voter is allowed to vote only once during an election, either from overseas or at the polling station in Singapore that has been allotted to him,” said the ELD.
