  Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) chairman Desmond Lim said the party was prepared with 200 volunteers ready to serve as polling and counting agents. It planned to hold its rallies online instead of physical rallies to accommodate elderly residents. On 23 March, the party announced it would contest in Pasir Ris–Changi and was in negotiations with the WP over contesting in Punggol. On nomination day, SDA decided against contesting Punggol GRC, where the WP was eventually defeated, and only contested in Pasir Ris–Changi.
  
  In its series of videos, SDA highlighted key issues such as high living costs, high HDB flat prices, unaffordable healthcare, and inadequate good job opportunities, and pledged to hold the government accountable in its expenditure while ensuring "every young family could afford a home". The SDA also proposed imposing a levy on Employment Pass holders, with the money used to fund a S$1,600 base allowance for full-time national servicemen. Lim and the party reaffirmed their commitment to addressing the concerns of residents in Pasir Ris–Changi, pledging to offer a "choice" representing "a different path of compassion, fairness, and a Singapore where every heart beats with hope".
