Group Representation Constituencies (GRC) are a type of electoral division or constituency in Singapore in which teams of candidates, instead of individual candidates, compete to be elected into Parliament as the Members of Parliament (MPs) for the constituency. There are 18 GRCs, including 10 five-member GRCs and 8 four-member GRCs.

GRCs are mapped with political_division=SG:GRC

Single Member Constituencies (SMC)

Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) are a type of electoral division or constituency in Singapore. There are 15 SMCs, and each SMC has 1 Member of Parliament representing 1 ward.

Future Plans/Proposals

Town Councils (TC)

Some TCs consists of only 1 GRC, others contain multiple GRCs and SMCs. So they are in between CDC and GRC/SMC and can use the existing political boundaries.

Proposed tags:

HDB towns & estates

Adding HDB town boundaries/neighbourhoods (there are slight variations between HDB and URA administrative boundaries)

e.g. Mount Pleasant is considered as part of Toa Payoh town by HDB but is in Novena, not Toa Payoh, planning area by URA

There are 24 towns and 3 estates, with each town subdivided into neigbourhoods.
