Singapore Announces Extensive Electoral Boundary Changes for GE2025

The revised map introduces new constituencies and redraws key opposition-held wards, reflecting population shifts and future housing developments.

The Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) has introduced five new Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) and six new Single Member Constituencies (SMCs), increasing the total number of constituencies to 33.
Aljunied GRC, held by the Workers’ Party since 2011, has been redrawn for the first time, with some districts moved to Tampines GRC, potentially impacting political dynamics.
The changes account for uneven population growth, with areas like Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC Hong Kah North SMC experiencing significant increases due to new housing developments.
The EBRC emphasized a forward-looking approach by considering future population growth from upcoming housing projects, aiming to reduce the need for frequent boundary adjustments.
Observers note that the EBRC has provided more detailed explanations than in past reports, addressing public concerns about gerrymandering and emphasizing the technical basis of its recommendations.
