Mr J.B. Jeyaretnam asked the Prime Minister the reason for the recent amendment to the Parliamentary Elections (Posters and Banners) Regulations 1976 requiring that all posters to be displayed at elections shall have affixed to them the stamp of the Returning Officer and will the Returning Officer issue the stamp before the elections.

Prof. Jayakumar (Second Minister for Law): The number of posters that can be displayed at designated places for every constituency at elections is prescribed by the Returning Officer who notifies candidates of the authorised number of their respective constituencies after acceptance of nominations. To enforce this requirement, all posters displayed at elections shall have a stamp bearing the official mark of the Returning Officer affixed to them.

The official mark of the Returning Officer will be issued to the candidates after the close of nomination at the various Nomination Centres.
