REJECTED Seats
There were 42, 829 rejected vote in GE2025 – lower than in the last three primaries: 45, 822 in 2020, 47, 367 in 2015, and 44, 737 in 2015. A rejected vote is one that cannot be counted because it is unknown or poorly marked.
Assoc Prof. Chong claimed that voters are more likely to cast ballots wisely and effectively when there are” may actually run a city council and properly represent you in congress”
Great rejection rates were frequently observed in districts where opposition parties performed poorly, according to Dr. Rebecca Grace Tan, a teacher with the NUS social science department. This might suggest vote dissatisfaction with the choices made.
The People’s Alliance for Reform ( PAR ) contested Jalan Besar GRC, which had the highest percentage of votes that were rejected, at 3.13 per cent.
With 2.72 per share of the vote rejected, Ang Mo Kio GRC followed, which featured a three-way battle between the PAP, Singapore United Party, and People’s Power Party.  ,
Tanjong Pagar GRC, which was also contested by Line, came in third with 2.6 % of votes rejected, while Pasir Ris-Changi GRC, which was contested by the Singapore Democratic Alliance, had 2.46 percent of vote rejected.
Red Dot United vying for second place with 2.24 percent of spoiled seats, Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC was in second place.
Given Singapore’s stringent election regulations, some voters may possess consciously invalidated their vote in order to avoid being removed from the electoral roll, according to political spectators.
Others may have committed sincere errors, and incompetent counting brokers may have struggled to effectively resolve disputes over dubious failures, according to Mr. Singh.
He claimed that” a more in-depth counting representative could effectively dispute rejected votes, ensuring that they are counted and no rejected.”
It might be surprising that there were more counting agents who were doing this for the second time and who were less effective in disputing votes that weren’t plainly marked with an’ X’ because there were more younger candidates and a higher level of democratic participation this time.
CAN THEY HAVE VOTE-FLIPPED?
Some events were little tighter than others, but some results were not close enough for absentees or irrelevant votes to affect the outcome.  ,
The difference between the PAP and WP in Tampines was 6, 379 vote, which is less than the 9, 549 who did not cast ballot, according to Dr. Teo.
In Jalan Kayu, where Ng Chee Meng of the PAP and Andre Low of WP were split by an 806 margin of victory, she reported that there were 376 rejected seats and 1, 832 students.
These divisions registered the worst-performing losing individuals, resulting in the WP receiving two Non-Constituency MP chairs and bringing the total to 12 seats in parliament.
According to independent observer Felix Tan,” Obviously voters were never aware of the importance of their vote.”
Economists cautioned against accepting the impression that all the opposition would have been in favor of the outcome.
According to Mr. Singh of Terra Corporate Affairs,” If you extrapolate from the general election pattern we saw this day, they could also have increased the PAP’s report.”
In post-election comments, WP key Pritam Singh directly acknowledged this to the internet. We never believed that just because there is a lot of support online or on the surface, it does turn into vote, he said.
