Note: All AC sites will cost S$2,219.35 with GST, payable to the Ministry of Education (“MOE”) for MOE (Evans) Stadium or Sport Singapore (“SSG”), for the remaining stadiums. Political parties fielding candidates across multiple constituencies (SMCs/GRCs) can apply for a single assembly centre (AC) site, in a region that any of their candidates are contesting in. All the candidates from that party are allowed to utilise the single AC site. For example, if a party is contesting in a SMC in Region 1, and also 2 GRCs in Region 2, the said party may choose to apply for any AC site in Region 1 and/or Region 2. If they apply for only one site in either Region 1 or Region 2, all the candidates will be allowed to utilise the AC site regardless of which electoral division they are contesting in.

Information for Candidates on Application of Police Permits

Applications for the election meeting and perambulating vehicle permits are encouraged to be made online via the Singapore Police Force’s e-Services portal at www.police.gov.sg/e-services at under “Licenses and Permits”, which will be made available after nomination proceedings. This will only be accessible to the candidate and his election agent. Applications can also be made in person by the candidate or his election agent at PEPO.

Briefing by PEPO to candidates and election agents on application of Police permits

PEPO will conduct an in-person briefing to prospective candidates and their potential election agents on the application process of Police permits on 22 Apr 2025 (Tue), a day before nomination proceedings. This will be held at 6.30pm at Police Cantonment Complex’s Auditorium, which is located at Block A, Level 8 of Police Cantonment Complex (391 New Bridge Road, Singapore 088762).

To enter Police Cantonment Complex, prospective candidates and their potential election agents will need to produce a valid photo-identification document to obtain a security pass. As public parking is not available at the Police Cantonment Complex, prospective candidates and their potential election agents are advised to park their vehicles at parking facilities nearby or to take the public transport.

PEPO Operating Hours:

2.00 pm to 6.00 pm (Nomination Day Only)
8.30 am to 6.00 pm daily (from one day after Nomination Day to Cooling-off Day)

PEPO Address:

Police Cantonment Complex (2nd level)
391 New Bridge Road
Singapore 088762

PEPO E-mail Address:

SPF_PEPO_Enquiry@spf.gov.sg (for permit-related enquiries)

Candidates must apply for a permit from the Police before they can hold an election meeting.

Candidates or their election agents can only apply for a single election meeting site per constituency on a given day, and this will be verified by Police’s online application portal (for online applications) and by PEPO for in-person applications.

Applications must be submitted at least a day before the intended election meeting date. Therefore, the earliest day for an election meeting to be held is the day after Nomination Day (or 24 Apr 2025 (Thu)). Applications for election meetings to be held on this day must be submitted by 4 pm on Nomination Day. Applications for election meetings to be held on other campaign days must be submitted by 2.30 pm the day before the planned election meeting. For example, if the election meeting is planned for Friday, the candidate or his election agent should apply for a permit by 2.30 pm on Thursday that same week.

For applications submitted manually at PEPO, the application form shall be completed by the candidate or his election agent and sealed in an envelope which will be provided to the applicant at PEPO’s reception.

Candidates or their election agents who wish to apply for a permit in person at PEPO, may do so during PEPO’s operating hours. PEPO’s details can be found above.

Upon receipt of a permit application either online or in-person, PEPO may contact the applicant to seek clarifications on the application.

Balloting

For sites with contesting applications, even after the ‘Give Way’ rule is applied, the Police Liaison Officer (Elections) (PLO) or the Deputy PLO (DPLO) will conduct a ballot. Applicants will be notified of the ballot if there is an application for the same site during the application process.

Balloting slips will be issued to the involved applicant(s), and will be kept in sealed envelopes, before being placed in the ballot box. PLO or DPLO will then reach into the ballot box and randomly pick out a ballot slip. The first pick will determine the successful applicant who will be awarded the contested site. An alternate site, if any available, would be offered to the unsuccessful parties who had participated earlier in the ballot.

‘Give Way’ rule

Applicant(s) who have previously been allocated a specific election meeting site, would have to ‘give way’ to other applicant(s), who apply for the same election meeting site, on the following day. This has been illustrated in the table below.

Election Meeting Site 1	Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4
Applicant(s)	A, B	A	A, B	A, B, C
‘Give Way’ required?	N.A.	N.A.	Yes, A gives way	Yes, B gives way
Ballot required?	Yes	No	No	Yes, for A and C
Successful applicant	A	A	B	A or C

For clarity, where there are no other applicants for the site, Party A can still be allocated the site. It will only have to ‘give way’, if there are other applicants for the same site.

Block balloting

As the final nights of the campaign period tend to be the most popular for the conduct of election meetings, PEPO will implement ‘block balloting’ for contested electoral divisions. The adoption of block balloting is to accord political parties and candidates (PP&Cs) with a reasonable opportunity to hold an election meeting near to Polling Day.

For each electoral division, the number of days set aside for block balloting is dependent on the number of parties contesting in that electoral division, as illustrated below. For lunch-time election meeting sites, block balloting will take place.

No. of PP&Cs	Single Member Constituency (SMC) (1 site per SMC)	Group Representation Constituency (GRC) (2 sites per GRC)
2	2 days, to ensure 1 election meeting for each PP&C	1 day, as each PP&C would have 1 election meeting
3	3 days, to ensure 1 election meeting for each PP&C	2 days, to ensure PP&C would have 1 election meeting
4	4 days, to ensure 1 election meeting for each PP&C	2 days, to ensure PP&C would have 1 election meeting
[Note: For GRCs, a ballot will determine ‘which’ site each PP&C is awarded, if there are contesting applications.]

During block balloting, each applicant (i.e. Party) shall only apply for one site/slot during the days kept for block balloting, for their electoral division. The application for block balloting will close at 2.30 pm on the day before the first block balloted time slot. For non-contested sites/slots, the applicant will make payment at the Landowners’ Office, and PEPO will process their Police permits. For contested sites/slots, a ballot will take place and the successful applicant will make payment at the Landowners’ Office, and PEPO will process their Police permits. Unsuccessful applicants will be offered the remaining sites/slots.

This process will continue until all applicants, who have applied for a site, have received a site during the block balloting period.

Permit issuance

For applicants of uncontested applications and for applicants who won the ballot, they are required to pay for their Temporary Occupation Licences (TOL) via PayNow at the Landowners’ Office at PEPO while PEPO processes their Police permits. Upon approval of the permit application for an election meeting, the applicant will need to proceed to PEPO to collect the permit. Thereat, the permit conditions will be explained to the applicant in person. The applicant must acknowledge on the permit that he fully understands the conditions and will take full responsibility to comply with them, before the permit is issued.

The Police will not levy any fee for the application of permits for election meetings. However, there will be fees levied by the premise owners for the use of the respective sites. The fees by the respective premise owners are summarised below.

Election Meeting Permit Conditions

Candidates and their election agents need to take note of the conditions attached to each election meeting permit issued by the Police. The permit conditions for election meetings is available here [PDF 150kb].

Candidates and their election agents should take note that the breach of permit conditions is an offence for which the permit holder will be held accountable. Candidates and their election agents are to read the permit conditions carefully and familiarise themselves with all the conditions. The Police take a serious view of all breaches of permit conditions, and investigations will be conducted against the permit holder for a breach of Police permit conditions and enforcement action(s) may be taken.

Applications for the use of perambulating vehicles on all other campaign days must be submitted by 2.30 pm the day before the intended use. For example, if the perambulating vehicle is planned for use on Thursday, the candidate or his election agent should apply for a permit latest by 2.30 pm on Wednesday that same week.

Upon in-principle approval, the applicant will be required to acknowledge all the permit conditions online, before the approved permit will be issued to the permit applicant’s e-mail. There is no need for the applicant to visit the Police Elections Permit Office (PEPO) to collect the perambulating vehicle permit.

There is no fee for perambulating vehicle permits.

There are no fees involved for perambulating vehicle permits.

General Advisories for Supporters and Members of the Public

Act(s) which jeopardise the safety of any person,
Act(s) which impede access or prevents the ordinary use of, any public road, bridge or other public place,
Act(s) which occasion public disorder,
Act(s) causing damage to public or private property,
Act(s) causing serious disruptions to residents in the vicinity,
Act(s) involving the display or exhibition of any placard, banner, flag, poster, photograph, film, sign, writing or other visible representation, that contains any violent, lewd or obscene material, and
Act(s) involving the exhortation of any chants, songs or gestures that are violent, lewd or obscene.

During the election period, there will be a high volume of online campaigning and civic participation on social media and private messaging services.
