34,000 public service officers served as election officials
In his post, Mr Chan shared that about 34,000 public service officers served as election officials in over 1,400 locations across Singapore.
These officers reportedly began training for their roles over a year ago.
On Polling Day, many of these officials were in charge of counting millions of votes late into the night.

Voting took under 5 minutes for many
Netizens readily agreed with this opinion, with one Reddit post on 3 May calling the process “super smooth”.
According to the user, they arrived at their polling centre at about 11.49am but discovered it was the wrong one.
After a “friendly staff” pointed them in the right direction, the voter managed to register and vote at the right polling station by 11.54am — just five minutes after.

One netizen even claimed they voted and left within 90 seconds.
Meanwhile, another user said they second-guessed whether they had forgotten to do anything, given how quick the process was.
