Today, we speak to young environmentalist Woo Qiyun, who recently graduated from the National University of Singapore. The 23-year-old shares more about how she’s been following the election – through reading manifestoes, watching speeches, and compiling her own resources – as well as her activism and interactions with family and friends.

Today, we speak to two young voters who volunteer for the political parties. I speak first with 25-year-old Joel Sherard Chow, who volunteers with the Workers’ Party, and then with 26-year-old Clarence Ching, who volunteers with the People’s Action Party. We wanted to learn more about how they started and their experiences, walking the ground.

Today, seven political parties addressed Singaporeans in the first party political broadcast of GE2020. There were no surprises. Everyone agreed that with the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic recession in its wake, Singaporeans face very tough times ahead.

Today, the top four political parties with the highest number of candidates running in GE2020 joined two debates. One in English, one in Mandarin. Each party sent one person to participate. Parties had about 30 hours to prepare, because invitations were only sent out at the end of the nomination process.

Nomination Day marks the start of the general election. This year, all 17 group representation constituencies and all 14 single-member constituencies will be contested, which means there were no walkovers. There are only two three-cornered fights: In Pasir-Ris Punggol GRC, and in Pioneer SMC.
