2020 Singaporean general election

General elections were held in Singapore on Friday, 10 July 2020 to elect 93 members to the Parliament of Singapore across 31 constituencies. Parliament was dissolved and the general election called by President Halimah Yacob on 23 June, on the advice of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. It elected members of parliament to the 14th Parliament of Singapore since Singapore's independence in 1965, using the first-past-the-post electoral system. The elections were the eighteenth general elections in Singapore and the thirteenth since independence.

On polling day, the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) secured its 15th consecutive term in government since 1959, winning 83 elected seats with the Workers' Party (WP) winning the remaining 10 (Aljunied and Sengkang GRCs and Hougang SMC) with 61.24% of the overall vote share in all the 93 seats that they contested, the second consecutive election without any walkovers. While the PAP managed to secure another supermajority victory, this election had also led to inroads for non-PAP parties, while the WP have retained back Aljunied GRC and Hougang SMC and went on to winning the newly created Sengkang GRC; this marked the second time a GRC was won by an opposition party since the introduction of GRCs and also marked the first time that any opposition had claimed multiple GRCs since the creation of the scheme in 1988, and it was also the first time a newly created constituency was won by an opposition party on its first attempt.

With the WP polling 50.49% in the 21 seats it contested in a straight fight with the PAP, the 2020 general election marked the first time since 1963 that the ruling PAP lost the popular vote overall in constituencies contested by the WP and the very first time since independence; it also had the biggest representation for any opposition party at 10 seats. The election had the lowest share of invalid votes and the highest voter turnout in any election since independence. In addition, it was also the first election whereby there were more than 1 million valid voters that voted against or cast an invalid/blank vote instead of the PAP. Provided by Wikipedia
