Singapore Announces Major Electoral Boundary Changes for GE2025

The Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) has announced significant changes to Singapore's electoral constituencies ahead of the next general election, set to be held by November 2025. The revisions will increase the total number of Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) to 18 and single-member constituencies (SMCs) to 15, raising the number of elected MPs from 93 to 97. Notably, a new four-member Punggol GRC is being created, which combines parts of the existing Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC and Punggol West SMC, while five SMCs are being removed and six new ones added. These changes reflect population shifts and housing developments, particularly in areas like Pasir Ris-Punggol and Tampines. The average number of electors per MP will decrease slightly, and the distribution of constituencies aims to maintain representation balance among diverse populations. The government has accepted the EBRC's recommendations, marking a pivotal step towards the upcoming election.
