Polls · Parliamentary Elections Act s.78C

Few polls,
and none in a campaign.

Singapore has no regular published voting-intention polls. From the day a writ of election is issued until polls close, no one may publish the result of an election survey: a survey of how voters will vote, or of their preferences for a candidate, party or issue (fine up to $1,500, prison up to 12 months, or both). This page withholds all survey results in that window.
