If everyone stick to their given timing, how did the queues form up? On one end, we are seeing long queues, on the other hand we have many who took less than 5 min to vote. So what is what, or where is where? Mine was 4-6pm. I started walking from my place to the polling center at 3.55pm, 4.10pm I drove off to SS already. 80% of those time taken was walking... I monitor my polling station whole day. said 60+ thruout. End up i reach there ard 4.30 for 5-7pm slot thinking this is the emptiest as those 3-5 or 4-6 will mostly cleared. By the time I finished after nearly 1.5 hrs I wasnt wrong... the queue behind me was worse 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So need to trace by voting slip serials - provided the "time in" was recorded by the front desk *and* the link to NRICs is maintained. And whether that's allowed post election is a thorny issue since the ballot papers are linked to that serial number and the vote is supposed to be secret (which is why I've always said this is a shoddy, purposefully stupid system). Yes, all CCTV cams need to be switched off and covered. Those documents will go with the ballot papers to the vault if not mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those documents will go with the ballot papers to the vault if not mistaken. Even *if* they had the list with the "counter times", there's another issue. At my polling station, I noticed a curious phenomenon. People were being damn obedient about distancing front and back with the yellow lines but they were happily forming two lines abreast each other with them moving at different and variable speeds! The proximity to the person to my side was lower than the ones in front and back, since there were no barriers or lines to indicate distancing. And it was a random (Poisson-like, presumably) shuffling around of "sidewise partners", so the whole thing is very difficult. Add to that the fact that there was no strong exit queuing at my station - people were happily wandering between the queues to leave, cutting into gaps - and this behaviour was even being practised by polling station staff - and you have a very muddled situation indeed. I bet the situation in other polling stations was at least as bad, if not worse. We're just gonna have a whole slew of "unliked" community cases, even post-GE, I don't think they will have the courage to come out and admit those were likely linked to their precious elections. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is for both parties polling agent sitting nearby to tick your name off the electors list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just check my ic and polling slip and then passed me the voting slip to me. Or maybe the officer got read out my nric and name but i was not paying much attention? 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
