SINGAPORE: The Elections Department (ELD) apologised on Thursday (Aug 24) after a printer wrongly sent out test prints together with the correct poll cards, resulting in almost 10,000 voters getting two cards each.
In a statement, ELD said it has received feedback from some voters from Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency (GRC), who said they received two poll cards with different voter’s serial numbers (VSN).
The printer, Toppan, had sent out test prints of poll cards to a total of 4,803 households, which corresponds to 9,822 voters from Tanjong Pagar GRC.
Of these, 9,354 voters received two poll cards with different serial numbers, while the rest received two poll cards with identical information.
The affected voters are assigned to vote at St Margaret’s School, Tanglin Community Centre, Farrer Park Primary School and Delta Sports Hall polling stations within Tanjong Pagar GRC.
