(Reuters Photo)SINGAPORE: Officials in Singapore extended voting in the city-state’s general election by two hours on Friday night after apologising for long queues at polling stations. Polls would remain open until 10pm in order to give everyone a chance to vote, said the Elections Department. It said people arriving outside their assigned time for casting their vote had been a factor in lengthy lines. It has never won less than 93% of parliamentary seats, despite seeing its popular vote slip as low as 60% in 2011. But the officers are trying their best,” Prime Minister Lee was quoted as saying by Channel News Asia before casting his vote on Friday morning.
