COVID-19 PATIENTS AND QUARANTINED CANNOT VOTE
COVID-19 patients and those in quarantine will not be able to vote in the 2020 General Election, but there will be a special voting hour for Singaporeans serving stay-home notices, the Elections Department (ELD) said on Wednesday.
About 350 people who have COVID-19 or are on a quarantine order will be affected. This is to minimise their contact with members of the public and reduce the risk of community transmission, said ELD.
