Law of large numbers

[edit]

How is that criticism? It seems like a favourable assessment. HYH.124 (talk) 06:14, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism can be positive. — Cheers, JackLee talk 06:42, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reference needed

[edit]

There is a need for a reference with regard to a part of the article that evolved with this edit. The part that needs reference is as such: "However, in 2013, the Singapore Court of Appeal held in Vellama D/O Marie Muthu v AG that the Prime Minister had a duty to call a by-election in an SMC, and that he must do so within reasonable time. It is unclear whether the Prime Minister has a duty to call for a by-election when a MP from a GRC vacates his seat." HYH.124 (talk) 14:55, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out. Actually, the information is not very relevant for this article, which doesn't deal with SMCs. I have modified the text and added references. — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:37, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How does this work?

[edit]

You have 1 vote no matter how many seats are there in the constituency, and that 1 vote is for the whole slate, or you have the same number of votes as there are seats in the GRC, and you can distribute it however you want to? –HTD 13:56, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As the article says, "Each voter of a GRC casts a ballot for a team of candidates, and not for individual candidates". — SGconlaw (talk) 02:29, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
