GE2025: First-time voters likely to consider a broader range of issues
First-time voters are expected to consider a wider array of issues come Polling Day. Analysts said that beyond bread-and-butter concerns, many will also consider societal issues that shape Singapore's future. How candidates use social media could also turn the tide. Around 205,000 citizens — or about 7.5% of 2.75 million Singaporeans — are aged 20 to 24 and are likely to have reached the legal voting age since the last election. Eugene Chow reports.
