Your Vote is absolutely foolproof secret here's why

Why are your name and IC number read aloud?
1) A voter queues for his or her turn to vote. The returning officer will then call out the name and NRIC number of the voter and verify his/her identity. He will then present the voter with a ballot paper. The voter will then proceed to the balloting booth to cast his vote.
Calling out the voterÂ’s name and NRIC in public will enable the polling agents of the WorkerÂ’s Party and PAP at the polling centre to note and to prevent the same voter from attempting to vote more than once. The serial numbers behind the ballots are there to ensure that every ballot paper is accounted for, so as to prevent the possibility of any fraud.
2) After the polling has closed, all the ballot boxes are then be sealed with specially made security seals in the presence of the polling agents from all the contesting parties. The boxes are then transported under police surveillance to the designated counting centres, witnessed by the representatives of the contesting parties.
How do you know your vote is counted?
3) Upon reaching the designated counting centre, the counting agents from the WorkersÂ’ Party and PAP will gather at the main counting area, with the counters (civil servants from different government departments) sitting at open counting tables. The counting agents will then inspect the ballot boxes and when they are satisfied that the boxes have not been tempered with, these boxes would be opened and the ballots poured out onto the counting tables, under the close supervision of the counting agents. (Counting agents are not allowed to touch the ballot papers.)
4) The counting of the votes then begins. The counters will stack the voting slips on the counting table. Each candidate will have his/her own stacks, in bundles of 100 votes each. Spoilt votes and disputable votes will be placed aside.
5) Upon completion of the counting process, a tabulation of the votes is done at the counting tables. If any of the counting agents is dissatisfied with the initial count, he or she can request for a recount. Otherwise the returning officer will do the final tabulation of the results and declare the winner of the electoral contest.
What will happen to the Ballot papers after the Election?
6) After this, all the ballot papers, including the unused ballot papers, will be tallied against the total number issued per constituency. Then together with the voting and counting documents, they are then gathered and placed into the boxes, in the presence of the counting agents from all the contesting parties. The boxes are then sealed with the specially made security seals, which are temper proof. In addition, counting agents may sign their names over the seals to further reinforce the secrecy of the ballots.
7) Once the sealing and signing are done, the boxes are then transported under police escort to the Supreme Court Vault for a storage period of 6 months and the key to the vault is handed to a judge. During this period, the documents can only be retrieved by court order.
Six months later, representatives from contesting parties will be invited to witness the destruction of the ballots. The WorkersÂ’ Party representative has always been present to inspect and ensure that the seals are intact. He will also follow the ballot boxes all the way to the incinerator to witness the whole destruction process.

It missed out something; the officer calling out loud our names and issuing us the polling card will actually WRITE OUR SERIAL NUMBER (the number located at the top-right corner of the small paper thats states your name, address, number and location of the voting-place) on the VOTING VOUCHER ITSELF.
And then he fold, then tear off the VOTING CARD from the voucher-book leaving a portion of the voucher at the book; this voucher has the serial number of the VOTING CARD and OUR UNIQUE SERIAL number.
Therefore, all it takes is for someone who wants to know our vote, to take our voting card, then key into a voting-database computer the VOTING CARD serial number, and then OUR UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBER will come up; and our votes will then be known.

I think WP is really something; they foresaw that PAP out of desperation will play this card... that is why they put the issue on their website. Like the JGo issue, it will backfire on PAP.Originally posted by Homecoming:What is your IQ? since when databases show who you have voted for?

Hey idiot, all votes locked up in boxes will be stored in the supreme court and do u know how much beaurcracy you need to go thru to retrieve them?Originally posted by RvnRooRon84:Well, I think you yourself are confused.

ALong the way, if it just takes one person to blow the whistle, it is over for them (whoever want so play hanky panky). -
Then why must it wait 6 long months to be burnt?Originally posted by Homecoming:Hey idiot, all votes locked up in boxes will be stored in the supreme court and do u know how much beaurcracy you need to go thru to retrieve them?

If a party is unsatisfied and demands a recount, they can do so within 1 month or 2. 6 months is too long; but long enough for the cards to be looked through thoroughly perhaps? -
it is subjective. fter 6 months, if anyone looked thru them, the seal will be tampered. Remember it is tamper proof. After 6 months, the reps of all parties will re-examine the seals to check that it has not been tampered.Originally posted by RvnRooRon84:Then why must it wait 6 long months to be burnt?
