The polling day, May 7, falls right in the middle of NTU’s exam week and the last day of NUS. For our NTU/NUSreaders, the campaigning period will also clash with your revisions. As NTU’s free student media, we understand that students will be hard-pressed for time to read up on elections. Thus, we have compiled a list of useful maps and links for you to refer to.
