Here's what happens after the polls.
Sample Count & Counting Votes
The counting for votes will begin with a sample count of a random bundle of 100 ballots, which provides an early indication of the possible electoral outcome of an electoral division.
According to the Elections Department (ELD), the sample count prevents speculation and misinformation from unofficial sources while counting is underway and helps election officials check against the electoral division's election result.
After the ballots are fully counted at one counting centre, the results are transmitted to the principal counting place, where the results from all of the counting centres in Singapore are compiled.
If the number of overseas votes has no impact on the election, the candidate or group of candidates with the greatest number of votes are declared to be elected.
If the overseas votes could impact the outcome, the number of votes cast in Singapore in favour of the candidate or group of candidates is announced, and the declaration of their election is deferred until the day that the overseas votes are counted.
After the overseas votes are counted, the final results will be published in the Singapore Government Gazette.
Destruction of Ballot Papers
Once the vote count ends, the ballot papers and other documents used in the election are sealed and kept in a secured place for six months.
After six months, they are destroyed unless otherwise directed by the President.
This is done to ensure the secrecy of the vote.
