新加坡公民迪哥达(Daniel De Costa),前日由代表律师拉维(M Ravi)入禀法庭,针对疫情下举行选举提出宪法挑战,而法庭将在下周一(29日)聆审。

迪哥达申诉在当前情况下选举,已经违反让人民参与自由公平选举的权益。为此要求法庭重申公民投票的权益。

而拉维则将协助迪哥达,援引选举法第24(3)项,申请禁令禁止选举官当前进行选举程序。

法庭受理上述入禀,原本聆审定在7月2日,即提名日(6月30日)后,不过拉维在昨日的审前会议挑战,提名日当天都可能出现不劳而获的议席,为此申诉聆审应在提名日之前进行。

而拉维稍后接受本社采访,认为针对民主党副主席陈两裕的个案,政府似乎没把在宪法下赋予公民投票的权益当一回事。迪哥达也关注,在疫情下的选举公民的投票权益是否遭侵蚀。
