Singapore: 1,325 overseas voters registered so far, The Straits Times (2010)

This article reports on the preparations for the general elections in Singapore. The date has yet to be announced (February 2012 at the latest), but preparations are moving on. Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng announced that 1,325 Singaporeans living overseas have registered to vote (in 2006, only 1,017 did so). The figure is higher than in the past, but it still rather low considering that there are about 180,000 citizens living abroad. The Deputy Prime Minister, however, stated that there are no plans to change the rules to encourage voting from overseas.
