Watch: How is my vote secret?

As Singaporeans head to the polls today, here is how the Elections Department ensures your vote is safe and secret.

When your wedding falls on Polling Day...

“Go vote” was probably not in Ms Aneetha Jeer Kaur Dhillon’s list of things to tick off today.

The new bride got hitched at Calvary Pandan Bible Presbyterian Church before heading to the Block 460 Jurong West Street 41 polling station to cast her ballot with her good friend Khaizuran, who was also voting at the same spot.

Meanwhile, bridegroom Sherman Ding, 31, headed off to vote at a polling station located in Sin Ming.

“It’s definitely... a monumental moment that will go down in history for both Sherman and me,” the bride told ST, adding that Polling Day did indeed lead to some hiccups when it came to wedding planning.

“We had to rearrange the schedule for our wedding... and a number of our guests declined the invite due to Polling Day,” the accountant said.

Fortunately, the couple still managed to make the main event happen – they got married, and then got to vote.
