1991 Singaporean General Election
31 August 1991 · Dominance by design
General elections were held in Singapore on 31 August 1991 to elect members of Parliament. They were the ninth general elections since the introduction of self-government in 1959 and the seventh since independence in 1965.
Cleanly counted but structurally tilted: GRC wards, government-aligned media and litigation against opposition figures shape the field long before polling day.
