[Zenten]

Don't forget to live your life normally in this trying time of a crucial election e.g. having a massage in Geylang, going to see pole dancing in Clark Quay and getting drunk, visiting Orchard Towers for fun and pleasure, going to JB to see floor shows etc.

.......live it up before 911 ........... :bsmilie:

That is astonishing to me for some reason. Bros you have a very unique country I must say.

What happens if one does not vote?

What if I do not vote at an election?

At the end of the election, the Returning Officer will put your name, together with all others who did not vote at the election, in the list of non-voters and pass that to the Registration Officer. The Registration Officer will then remove your name from the certified register of electors of the constituency you belong to.

This means that you cannot vote at any subsequent presidential or parliamentary election, and you are disqualified from being a candidate at any subsequent presidential or parliamentary election. (http://www.eld.gov.sg/voters_compulsory.html)

Neat eh? Tactically speaking hehe

Imagine in the US.. it was what? 57.5 % turn out for the 2012 election ? That means the next US election only 42.5% are allowed to vote.

In other words .....no need to vote ........ why didn't I think of that???!!!

What sort of system is employed to allow people to cast their vote?

In my county we are handed a ballot and a pencil. Beside each candidate's name is a broken line we fill in the line for the person we want to vote for. The ballot is then handed to a pair of people who feed it into a scanner. It dings or whatever when it is recorded. No hanging chads in my county. My state is one of the 'reddest' if not the most red region in the country. Bunch of hillbillies here in Oklahoma...LOL I hate to sound so whatever the right word is but I think our elections are and have been rigged for quite some time. I also feel much of it is just lip service too, for the people at least. We haven't had a decent for the people candidate since JFK and everyone knows what became of him (and the rest of that family for that matter).

I appreciate the education gentlemen.

It's unthinkable that you do not want to aspire to be the President of Singapore one day and have your face printed on our notes instead of hiding behind a Panasonic camera. :bsmilie:

Do not risk your political future by not voting.

You may lose a lot more than you gain. :bsmilie:

OK OK if you don't want to be President how about at least consider to be Minister of Transport. There is a vacancy for it at the moment. :bsmilie:

We all know the eventual results. I know I have to keep helping myself to survive as always and not depend on anyone's help. Status Quo.
