Contains information from Parliamentary General Election Results by Candidate, accessed on 28 October 2026 from the Elections Department Singapore, which is made available under the terms of the Singapore Open Data Licence version 1.0. Shown in our own layout; the Elections Department does not endorse it.

We summed each party's votes over the constituencies that were contested, and counted its seats from the winner of each constituency: a team wins every seat of its group constituency. Shares are of those votes. Non-constituency members, who join Parliament without winning a constituency, are not counted.

1 of the 27 constituencies was won without a vote, because only one candidate or team stood there. A walkover adds seats and no votes.
