Some nursing homes are making their own arrangements for their residents to cast their votes in the General Election. A pilot programme during the last Presidential Election, in which polling stations were set up within nursing homes, has been discontinued. NTUC Health has arranged for more than 40 staff members and volunteers to escort seniors to their allocated stations. They will accompany more than 90 seniors across its six nursing homes islandwide. Meanwhile, 15 residents from the Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital in Potong Pasir will be casting their votes with the help of students from St Andrew's Junior College.
