The following is a '''list of Singaporean electoral divisions from 1991 to 1997''' that served as [[Constituencies of Singapore|constituencies]] that elected [[Member of parliament#Singapore|Members of Parliament]] (MPs) to the [[8th Parliament of Singapore]] in the [[1991 Singaporean general election|1991 Singaporean general elections]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=ELD {{!}} 1991 Parliamentary General Election Results|url=https://www.eld.gov.sg/elections_past_parliamentary1991.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190806070832/https://www.eld.gov.sg/elections_past_parliamentary1991.html|archive-date=2019-08-06|access-date=2020-06-27|website=www.eld.gov.sg}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Mutalib|first=Hussin|date=2002|title=Constitutional-Electoral Reforms and Politics in Singapore|journal=Legislative Studies Quarterly|volume=27|issue=4|pages=659–672|doi=10.2307/3598663|jstor=3598663|issn=0362-9805}}</ref> The total number of seats in Parliament remains unchanged since the last general election.
{{short description|wikimedia list article}}


The number of opposition candidates in Parliament have increased to 4. There are 3 from the [[Singapore Democratic Party]] and 1 from the [[Workers' Party (Singapore)|Worker's Party]].
The 1991 General Elections (GE) in Singapore has no increase in the number of seats. So the total divisions remain at 81. (There is some specific division change, though.)
The official result can be obtained through
[http://www.elections.gov.sg/past_parliamentary1991.htm Official results and electoral divisions in 1991 General Elections of Singapore.]

One interesting point to note is in this GE, the number of Opposition Party's candidate had increased from 1 to 4 where 3 of them are from [[Singapore Democratic Party]] and 1 of them in [[Workers Party of Singapore]]. All of them represents a [[Single Member Constituency]]. It is one of the highest number of opposition party members by far in the GE held in Singapore since [[List of Singaporean electoral divisions 1959-1963|1959 GEs]] despite no Opposition Candidates had won a [[Group Representative Constituency]](GRC).

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.
