REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS OF 2 JANUARY 1997 ==================================================================== NATIONAL SUMMARY 1,881,011 voters, 734,000 (39.0%) voted ==================================================================== Voters in uncontested seats: 1,115,679 (59.3% of all voters) Voters in contested seats: 765,332, of whom 734,000 (95.9%) voted -------------------------------------------------------------------- Voting in contested seats Votes % seats -------------------------------------------------------------------- Democratic People's Party 5,043 00.7 - National Solidarity Party 48,322 06.7 - People's Action Party 465,751 65.0 34 + 47 Singapore Democratic Party 76,129 10.6 - Singapore People's Party 16,746 02.3 1 Workers' Party 101,544 14.2 1 Other 3,210 00.4 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- 17,255 (02.3%) void 716,745 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------- The PAP won all 47 uncontested seats, giving a total of 81 seats. Since the majority of seats were uncontested, true levels of party support cannot be determined. It can be noted, however, that the combined total of all non-PAP candidates was 250,994, or 13.3% of all registered voters. Had all seats been contested, a reasonable calculation is that the PAP would have received 70 to 75% of the vote.
