Revision of registers of electors

[SINGAPORE] Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has directed the Registration Officer to revise the registers of electors and complete the revision on or before March 31.

The Elections Department said yesterday that the revision was "a routine exercise to ensure that the registers are up to date". "The law requires the registers to be revised not later than three years after the last general election. As the last general election was held on May 7, 2011, the registers must therefore be revised by May 6, 2014."

The Elections Department also said that it would announce details on the public inspection of the revised registers of electors on Feb 17.
