SINGAPORE — Aspiring candidates who wish to stand for the upcoming presidential election can begin applying for a certificate of eligibility and submit community declarations from Tuesday (June 13), said the Elections Department (ELD).
In a media statement on Monday, the ELD said that prospective candidates who wish to stand for the election can make the applications until the fifth day after the Writ of Election is issued.
“This is for the purpose of ascertaining when the next reserved election will be held,” said the ELD. The Elections Department will then announce the date, time and place for prospective candidates seeking nomination as candidates. Dr Chua Thian Poh, member or former member of the Council of Presidential Advisers, appointed by the chairman of that councilwill also have to submit community declarations to declare that they consider themselves as a member of the Chinese, the Malay or the Indian or Other Minority communities.
