Electoral System in Singapore

Author(s) Utkarsh Tongbram, Anna Ganguly
Country India
Abstract Singapore's electoral system has changed significantly since the country gained independence
in 1965. This essay offers a thorough examination of the evolution of the electoral system,
emphasizing significant institutional developments, legislative adjustments, and their effects
on democratic government. Singapore’s electoral scene has steadily changed to include
elements of multiparty competition and electoral reforms, after initially being characterized
by single-party domination under the People's Action Party (PAP). Group participation
Constituencies (GRCs) were introduced in 1988 with the intention of guaranteeing minority
participation; nonetheless, they have faced criticism due to their propensity to curtail political
competition and variety. In addition, the impartiality and openness of the Elections
Department's function as an independent organization in charge of overseeing electoral
procedures have come under scrutiny. In an apparent effort to increase political diversity and
minority participation, recent changes to electoral legislation have instituted programs like
the Reserved Presidential Election and Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs).
Concerns about the degree of true political plurality and the effect of new laws on democratic
ideals still exist, nevertheless. Voter involvement and election rhetoric have also been found
to be significantly influenced by social media and civil society activities. Through a critical
analysis of the election system's history, this study advances our knowledge of Singapore's
political environment and its consequences for democratic administration. It emphasizes how
crucial it is to continue with changes to improve political inclusion, election integrity, and
citizen participation in the democratic process.
