GE2025: 5 assembly centres for candidates, supporters to wait for poll results

SINGAPORE – Candidates of the 2025 General Election and their supporters can go to five stadiums to wait for results of the May 3 polls, said the police.

Five stadiums – three for the PAP, one for WP and one for SDP – have been designated as assembly centres and issued permits by the police’s Elections Permit Office. They are:

Non-partisan members of the public can also gather at the stadiums to wait for the results.

The assembly centres will be open from the closing of the polls at 8pm until 30 minutes after the announcement of the final electoral result.

During the last general election in 2020, the final official results for all contests came in at around 3.45am the day after Polling Day on July 10.

Large crowds are expected at the assembly centres, said the police, recommending attendees to travel there by public transport.

Traffic diversions and lane closures leading to slow traffic near the stadiums are also to be expected, said the police.

Security checks will be conducted at the assembly sites, and attendees are advised not to bring large bags into the centres.

The police reminded all attendees, including the candidates, at the assembly sites to conduct themselves responsibly, notably when poll results are announced. Party leaders should urge their supporters to remain calm to avoid public disorder, added the police.

Laser pointers, canned drinks, drones and any weapons or items resembling weapons are prohibited at the centres, said the police.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore will establish temporary restricted areas over the assembly centres, and ban flying of drones, captive balloons and kites within the zone.

The restricted boundaries will be in effect from 7pm on May 3 to 6am the next day.
