A local contact address is a residential address in Singapore that overseas Singaporeans can register with the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) for voting purpose.
As elections in Singapore are conducted on constituency basis, having a Singapore address registered with ICA is a prerequisite for any overseas Singaporean who wishes to register as an overseas elector. Without a Singapore address, the Elections Department would not be able to enter the person´s name in the register of electors of any constituency.
Recognising that many overseas Singaporeans might have changed their Singapore (NRIC) address to an overseas address, the National Registration Act was amended in 2001 to allow these Singaporeans to register a "contact" address in Singapore (referred to as "local contact address") with ICA for voting purpose. To facilitate the registration of local contact address by overseas Singaporeans, ICA has made available an online registration facility via this eService.
