In the presence of candidates and counting agents from the People's Action Party (PAP), Progress Singapore Party (PSP), Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA), and the Workers' Party (WP), overseas votes cast for #GE2025 by overseas Singaporean voters, i.e. votes cast at overseas polling stations and by the postal voting method, are counted on Thursday morning (May 15).
Although the votes cast in Singapore are conclusive of the results for all 33 constituencies, the inclusion of overseas votes reflects Singapore’s commitment to a fair and accessible electoral process for all citizens.
