The right to vote in Singapore is not explicitly stated in Singapore's Constitution, but the Government has expressed the view that it may be inferred from the fact that Singapore is a representative democracy and from specific constitutional provisions, including Articles 65 and 66 which set out requirements for the prorogation and dissolution of Parliament and the holding of general elections. Speaking on the matter in Parliament in 2009, the Minister for Law, K. Shanmugam, said that the right to vote could not be a mere privilege as this would imply the existence of an institution superior to the body of citizens that is empowered to grant such a privilege, but that no such institution exists in a free country.

  • لم يذكر الحقّ في التصويت في سنغافورة بشكل صريحٍ في دستورها، ولكنّ الحكومة أعربت عن رأي مفاده أنه يمكن الاستدلال على هذا الحقّ من كون سنغافورة دولة ديمقراطية تمثيلية وكذلك من بعض الأحكام الدستورية منها المادتين 65 و66 اللتين تضمنان شروطًا لتفويض البرلمان وحلّه وإجراء انتخابات عامة. وقال وزير العدل كاسيفواناثان شانموغام حول ذلك أثناء خطابه في البرلمان عام 2009 أن حق التصويت لا يمكن أن يكون مجرد امتياز لأن ذلك يعني وجود مؤسسة أعلى من المواطنين المخولين بمنح هذا الامتياز، ولكن لا توجد مؤسسة من هذا القبيل في بلد حر. وفي عام 1966، دعت لجنة دستورية برئاسة قاضي القضاة وي تشونغ جين إلى ترسيخ الحق في التصويت في إطار الدستور، ولكن البرلمان لم ينظر في ذلك أثناء جلسته في ذلك اليوم. وعندما تكرر هذا الاقتراح مرة أخرى خلال المناقشة البرلمانية عام 2009، ارتأت الحكومة أن ترسيخ هذا الحقّ غير ضروري.
