Singapore's Elections Department has issued 245 political donation certificates to prospective candidates for the upcoming General Election 2025, surpassing the number from the previous election.
These certificates are a mandatory requirement for all candidates and serve to ensure transparency and legal compliance in campaign financing. The increase in applications suggests heightened interest in contesting the election, though not all applicants may ultimately submit nomination papers. The process underscores the importance of clean and accountable election funding in Singapore's political landscape.
Nomination Day is set for April 23, when candidates must submit these certificates along with their nomination papers.
