List of Singaporean electoral divisions (1976–1980)

The following is a list of Singaporean electoral divisions from 1976 to 1980 that served as constituencies that elected Members of Parliament (MPs) to the 4th Parliament of Singapore in the 1976 Singaporean general elections. ^[1] The number of seats in Parliament had increased by four to 69 seats.

In July 1976, the Electoral Boundaries Delineation Committee recommended to adjust the number of electorate to between 13,000 and 20,000. The change resulted in six constituencies being abolished, 11 constituencies had their electoral boundaries changed, and ten new constituencies created. The number of constituencies increased from 65 to 69. The recommendations were accepted. ^[2]

Changes

The abolished constituencies were: ^[3]

• Bras Basah. Merged with River Valley. Ho See Beng therefore moved from Bras Basah to Khe Bong (just reflecting new development)
• Crawford. Merged with Kampong Glam. Ang Kok Peng therefore moved from Crawford to Buona Vista (just reflecting new development)
• Hong Lim. Merged with Telok Ayer. Lee Khoon Choy therefore moved from Hong Lim to Braddell Heights (just reflecting new development)
• Kampong Kapor. Merged with Jalan Besar. Yeo Toon Chia therefore moved from Kampong Kapor to Ang Mo Kio (just reflecting new development)
• Sepoy Lines. Merged with Tanjong Pagar. Wee Toon Boon resigned.
• Stamford. Merged with Rochore. Andrew Fong therefore moved from Stamford to Kampong Chai Chee (just in view of the new Bedok constituency)

The ten new constituencies were: ^[3]

• Ang Mo Kio (from Nee Soon)
• Bedok (from Siglap)
• Boon Lay (from Jurong)
• Braddell Heights (from Paya Lebar, Serangoon Gardens, Thomson and Upper Serangoon)

• Buona Vista (from Queenstown)
• Khe Bong (from Kuo Chuan & Toa Payoh)
