SINGAPORE: On Monday , Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing addressed questions from Members of Parliament on the issue of 4,803 households, or 9,822 voters, in the Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency receiving two poll cards during the 2023 Presidential Election in August.
Mr Chan said that the issue resulted from “human error” by printing company Toppan, who had mailed test prints of the poll cards along with the actual poll cards. Responding to MP of Tanjong Pagar Joan Pereira’s question on whether any voters could not vote due to the issue, Mr Chan replied: “No, we don’t believe that anybody was not able to vote because they received a duplicate poll card.”
The duplicate poll cards did show the correct polling stations for the voters and affected voters could vote accordingly.
