General elections must be held within three months of Parliament’s dissolution.
Electoral constituencies (also referred to as seats in Parliament) are organized into Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) and Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs). Each SMC elects one Member of Parliament through a first-past-the-post system, while each GRC elects four or five Members of Parliament through party-list block voting. At least one candidate in each GRC must belong to the Malay, Indian, or other minority communities of Singapore. A team of candidates contesting in a GRC must consist either of members of the same political party or independents.
The voting age in Singapore is 21. Elections are administered by the Elections Department (ELD), which is under the Prime Minister’s Office. The Returning Officer for these elections was Han Kok Juan, Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).
