The Elections Department is responsible for the conduct of elections in Singapore. This can be Parliamentary or Presidential Elections. Every citizen who is 21 years and above is qualified to be a voter.
Voting is compulsory and secret.
In addition, MPs can be returned from Single Member Constituencies or Group Representation Constituencies. A Group Representation Constituency can be designated as a constituency reserved for the Malay Community or the Indian and Other Minority Communities. Hence candidates seeking election as a group in the Group Representation Constituency must have at least one of its candidates come from either the Malay Community or the Indian and Other Minority Communities.
