The $13,500 election deposit is a key part of Singapore’s electoral system, required from every candidate seeking to contest in a General Election.
This deposit is designed to ensure that only serious contenders step forward, with candidates needing to secure at least 12.5 percent of the vote to keep it, and if they fail, the deposit is forfeited.
