THE registers of electors are being updated again - the third time since the May 2006 General Election.

While news of the revision will invite fresh speculation about the timing of the next polls, MPs and political observers saw the move as a way to ensure that there would be more eligible voters at the next polls, due by February next year.

A notice published in the Government Gazette on Monday, said that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has directed that a revision be made and completed by Feb 28.

When completed, the revised registers will contain the names of all Singapore citizens who are qualified to be electors as of Jan 1 this year.

Singaporeans who turned 21 and new immigrants who have taken up Singapore citizenship since Feb 1 last year - the cut-off date when the registers were last revised - will be added to the registers.

An Elections Department spokesman said more details about the revision can be expected in two weeks' time.

If Mandai prison, yes. All other prisons can't. They know if you are a prisoner, you vote MIW? Surely not.

Let's see how they redraw the electoral boundary. Ang Mo kio might become part of Changi GRC.
