The ELD said the e-mails were the result of a programming glitch.
SINGAPORE – About 6,500 Singaporeans living overseas received an erroneous e-mail from the Elections Department on May 24 informing them that they had successfully registered to vote from abroad.

The e-mails were sent to individuals who had earlier applied to be overseas electors, owing to a programming glitch, an ELD spokesperson said on May 26 in response to queries from ST.
“There was no data compromised and all these overseas Singaporeans were informed on the same day to disregard the e-mail,” said the spokesperson, adding that the error has since been rectified.The ELD said on May 20 thatPrime Minister Lawrence Wong has directed that the Registers of Electors, which will contain the names of all Singapore citizens who qualify to be electors as at June 1, be revised before July 31.
