The process of voting by ballot can be summarised into 7 easy steps
|
|
|
| |
|
| Your name must be on the certified register of electors for a constituency to be eligible to vote at the election in that constituency. You can verify your personal particulars via the eServices available at this website to find out your voter status. |

|
Before Polling Day
If your name is on the certified register of electors for a constituency, and the election in that constituency is contested, you will receive a Poll Card via mail from the Elections Department.
|
| |
| The Poll Card will tell you where is your Polling Station. |
| |
| If you still do not receive your Poll Card 3 days after Nomination Day, please call the election hotline, email the Elections Department or visit any Community Centre/Club to obtain another Poll Card. |
| |
|
| |
|
| Find out about the candidate(s) contesting in your constituency by reading newspapers, watching television, attending election rallies or just by talking to your friends and family members. |
