Latest #wethecitizens: information on how to get involved if you'd like to be more hands-on with your #GE2020. Also, how are overseas Singaporeans going to vote? wethecitizens.substack.com/p/ge2020-want-…
As of June 2019, there are over 217,000 Singaporeans living abroad. Of course, not all of them are of voting age, or are registered overseas voters, but the number is likely still significant.
There is so far a lack of guidance on how they can vote safely during #COVID19.
There are only 10 overseas polling stations for Singaporeans, in Washington DC, New York, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Canberra. If you don't live in any of these cities, it might be troublesome to get to at the best of times. Now...
With #COVID19-related border closures and travel restrictions, it could be even more impossible for Singaporeans to travel to vote. Eg. how would Singaporeans in Canada go to San Francisco or New York? What about Singaporeans in Denmark, who would have to go to London?
Overseas Singaporeans, register to as overseas voters here: eld.gov.sg/online.html
Registration is open until 25 June 2020, 2359hrs, #Singapore time, so don't put it off.
