List of Singaporean electoral divisions (1991–97)

The 1991 General Elections (GE) in Singapore has no increase in the number of seats. So the total divisions remain at 81. (There is some specific division change, though.) The official result can be obtained through Official results and electoral divisions in 1991 General Elections of Singapore.

One interesting point to note is in this GE, the number of Opposition Party's candidate had increased from 1 to 4 where 3 of them are from Singapore Democratic Party and 1 of them in Workers Party of Singapore. All of them represents a Single Member Constituency. It is one of the highest number of opposition party members by far in the GE held in Singapore since 1959 GEs despite no Opposition Candidates had won a Group Representative Constituency(GRC).

With the system of GRC, the divisions has drastically reduced (Up to 3 / 4 seats counted as 1 division in GRC), despite actual division is 81.

Group Representation Constituencies

At least 1 Indian or other Minorities

At least 1 Malay
