List of Singaporean electoral divisions (1976–1980)
Wikimedia list article
The following is a list of Singaporean electoral divisions from 1976 to 1980 that served as constituencies that elected Members of Parliament (MPs) to the 4th Parliament of Singapore in the 1976 Singaporean general elections. The number of seats in Parliament had increased by four to 69 seats.
In July 1976, the Electoral Boundaries Delineation Committee recommended to adjust the number of electorate to between 13,000 and 20,000. The change resulted in six constituencies being abolished, 11 constituencies had their electoral boundaries changed, and ten new constituencies created. The number of constituencies increased from 65 to 69. The recommendations were accepted.
Changes
The abolished constituencies were:
Bras Basah. Merged with River Valley. Ho See Beng therefore moved from Bras Basah to Khe Bong (just reflecting new development)
Crawford. Merged with Kampong Glam.
