Singapore Takes Initial Step Toward General Election with Formation of Electoral Boundaries Committee

The committee's establishment signals preparations for a vote that must occur by November, with analysts predicting a midyear timeline.

• Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has convened the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC), marking the first step toward Singapore's next general election.
• The committee reviews electoral boundaries, factoring in population changes, and will determine constituency structures and the number of parliamentary seats.
• Singapore's 14th general election must be held by November 2025, with analysts suggesting it could occur as early as midyear.
• This election will be the first under Lawrence Wong's leadership of the People's Action Party, following his succession of Lee Hsien Loong in May 2024.
• The EBRC's report, which has no fixed deadline, will precede the dissolution of parliament and the formal election process.
