What changes have been made to the electoral boundaries ahead of the next General Election? Here's what you need to know:

Here's where the battle lines have been drawn for the next election:Singapore’s next Parliament will have 93 seats, four more than the current 89 in the House. The increase comes as the number of voters in the Register of Electors grew by more than 134,000.

That’s one more SMC and one more GRC than in 2015, but some existing wards have been removed or redrawn.One major change this time is that the two GRCs which had six members have been down-sized. A few districts from Sengkang West, which grew substantially in voting population from 2015, will go to Ang Mo Kio GRC.There had been speculation that Potong Pasir SMC might cease to exist after it changed from opposition hands to being a PAP ward after MP Sitoh Yih Pin’s win in 2011.
