Police aiming for 2 election rally sites for each GRC, 1 for each SMC

In the upcoming General Election, the police intend to designate two physical rally locations for each group representation constituency ( GRC ) and one for each single member constituency ( SMC).

According to Minister of State for Home Affairs Sun Xueling in parliament on Tuesday ( Feb 18 ), one location will also be designated for lunchtime rallies.

She was responding to a problem from Pritam Singh, the leader of the opposition, regarding the number of real rally locations that may exist.

The EBRC’s ( EBRC ) report to parliament could be made public, but the Workers ‘ Party secretary-general also inquired.

The EBRC, which is currently reviewing district lines, will be convened on January 22 according to the Elections Department.

At the conclusion of election morning, according to Ms. Sun, the list of rally locations will be made public.

She described the arrangements as” common with the way that the political general elections were conducted with actual rallies in 2011 and 2015.”

She continued, noting that the police were looking at a variety of protest locations, including stadiums, schools, and empty fields.

In the General Election, which Singapore may hold by November 23 this year, natural rallies were anticipated to return.

CNA earlier reported that 22 of the 46 protest sites in the 2015 General Election no longer exist, with 12 websites lost to cover tasks.

According to pandemic health precautions, the 2020 General Election did not hold any real gatherings. Walkabouts and home visits were the only natural campaigning options for small groups.
