According to the Elections Department (ELD), as of 5pm on Jul. 10, 2,159,000 voters — or 81 per cent of registered voters — have cast their votes at local polling stations in Singapore.
In an earlier update, ELD announced that 840,000 voters (31 per cent of registered voters) had voted as of 12pm.
After reports of "longer than usual" queues at some polling stations, ELD apologised for the queue situation.
“We are sorry for the wait and inconvenience to voters,” the department said.
More voters had turned up this morning than expected outside their assigned voting time-bands, ELD stated.
“This, together with measures that had been put in place to ensure safe voting, had led to long queues,” they explained.
Voting ends at 8pm.
