If you were in Sengkang West SMC during the last election, are you in the same constituency for the upcoming election?

In short, no. For the 2020 general election, Sengkang West SMC will cease to exist and instead its constituents will either belong to the newly-formed Seng Kang GRC or be absorbed into Ang Mo Kio GRC. 

Why is that so? The short explanation is electoral boundaries are reviewed just before every general election and they are redrawn based on population shifts across Singapore.

Hence, even if you are living in the same house that you were in during the last election your constituency may have still changed.

Read on to delve deeper into the considerations that are made every time electoral boundaries are looked at.
