The Elections Department has been notified to update the Registers of Electors by the Prime Minister. It is expected to be completed by 3 March 2009. The announcements by the Elections Department are shown below:
LATEST NEWS (17 February 2009)
The Registers of Electors are currently being revised. The revised Registers will contain the names of all Singapore citizens who are qualified to be electors as of 1 February 2009.
Announcement will be made (expected in about two weeks’ time) when the revision is completed and the related online services are resumed.
Do visit this website regularly for updates.
======================================
NOTICE. (18 February 2009)
ONLINE SERVICES
The online checking services are suspended temporarily while the Registers of Electors are being revised, and are expected to be resumed around 3 March 2009. You may wish to check again within 14 days from 3 March 2009, to ensure that your particulars in the revised Registers of Electors are correct.
In addition, the redrawing of polling districts has also been done. See link below:

After the completion of the Registers of Electors, which is 3 March, voters will be given 14 days to check their names and status. That will bring us to 17 March. So the earliest date an election can be held will be on 18 March.
School holidays fall between 14 to 22 March.

Therefore, it is likely that the GE could be held between
18 to 21 March 2009.
And Nomination Day would probably be around 10-12 March 2009.
Notes:
1. PAP already got all their things printed in China shipped to Singapore.
2. Indications are quite clear that the preparations in Phase 2 have been completed. Phase 3 of the Operation can be expected any time now.
3. There seems to be a serious internal conflict going on. Someone who cannot govern may have to be kicked out and replaced. It looks like a big reshuffle will be taking place.
4. The unprecedented sudden appearance of the President to hold a press conference only after the Budget2009 Debate is the most significant signal given to the public. For whatever it is worth, the so-called explanations by the President is probably aimed at critics or possible criticisms on the Process Of Approving The Drawing Of The National Reserves during the coming election rallies
5. Another consideration is that President Obama will be attending the APEC Meeting in Singapore in April 2009. Therefore, it will be a crafty move to have the Flash GE2009 before President Obama arrives.
