The Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) has released its report for Singapore’s next general election.
In EBRC’s report released on Tuesday (11 March), five single-member constituencies (SMC) were dissolved and six new ones were added.

As for the new SMCs, they are:
There will also be one new four-Member of Parliament (MP) Group Representation Constituencies (GRC) in the form of Punggol.
Punggol GRC consists of estates formerly part of five-MP Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC as well as the dissolved Punggol West SMC.
EBRC stated that the split occurred due to Pasir Ris-Punggol seeing the “largest increase in the number of electors”.
The remaining Pasir Ris polling districts were then merged with adjacent ones from East Coast GRC, forming the four-MP Pasir Ris-Changi GRC.
The upcoming election will also see an increase in the total number of MPs — from 93 in 2020 to 97.
This year’s electoral map consists of 33 electoral divisions, with 15 SMCs and 18 GRCs.
The GRCs are also split into:

The EBRC sent their report to him on 7 March.
The government has accepted the EBRC’s recommendations today (11 March).
