The Clock Is Ticking!Parliament Has To Be Dissolved At The Latest On 24 August 2025!

Box 2

You would have read that the latest the GE has be held is November 2025. While that may be theoretically correct,the more important date for Singaporean voters to note is that Parliament has to be dissolved by 24 August 2025. The term of current Parliament ends on 23 August 2025! On 24 August 2025, all the present 93 MPs will be MPs no more!

Once Parliament is dissolved,the next step is for the Writ of Election to be issued. We all know that in the Singapore context, once the Writ of Election is issued, polling takes place 17 days after that.

For me, the important date to take note is therefore the last day for Parliament to be dissolved and not when is the latest for the GE to be held. The President on advice of the Prime Minister can of course dissolve Parliament much sooner.

Box 3

The clock is ticking and Lawrence Wong will no doubt be hearing the tik tock sound.
The GE will be upon us sooner than most people expect.
