PRESS RELEASE

CHANGES IN POLLING STATIONS FOR SOME VOTERS IN

JALAN BESAR AND GROUP REPRESENTATION CONSTITUENCIES

Eligible voters in the contested constituencies began receiving their Poll Cards since Friday, 28 April 2006. The Poll Card, which is white, indicates the address of the Polling Station which the voter is to go to vote. It also contains information about the voter’s Electoral Division and Polling District. Voters should bring their poll cards and their identity cards/passports when they go to vote.

Voters in Polling Districts JB-JB11, JB-JB21, JB-JB25 and TM-TM13 will, however, receive fresh Poll Cards from 2 May 2006 onwards, stating a change in their Polling Stations. The change is made for the convenience of most voters in these areas. It will allow them to cast their votes at a Polling Station nearer to their homes. When they go to vote, voters in these affected Polling Districts should instead bring along the second poll cards they receive from tomorrow onwards, together with their identity cards/passports.
