🚨 You may have come across a claim on chat messaging groups that scammers are impersonating the Elections Department (ELD) online.

✅ Voters should ascertain their voting status via official sources only – through ELD’s Voter Services page at ELD’s official website (www.eld.gov.sg) or via the Singpass app. ELD will only send emails from email addresses ending with “@eld.gov.sg”.
