List of Singaporean electoral divisions (1988–1991)

The 1988 General Elections (GE) in Singapore has increases the number of seats by 2 to 81 seats. The official result can be obtained through Official results and electoral divisions in 1988 General Elections of Singapore.

Two interesting points to note are in this GE, the number of Opposition Party's candidate had reduced from 2 to 1. It is one of the lowest number of opposition party members by far in the GE held in Singapore aside of 1972 - 1980 GEs. Also, this is the first time the PAP government is introducing the concept of Group Representative Constituency (GRC) where it is elected as a group of 3 members to a max of 4 members. (It was later amended to a maximum of 6 members in 1997 GE)

The aim of the GRC is to allow minorities to be elected and represented in parliament more easily despite opposition critics of being unfair.

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.
