![Electoral divisions for the 2011 General Elections.
The administrative division of Singapore into five Community Development CouncilDistricts and the
further breakdown into Constituencies (which mostly relate to local Town Councils, the second-level
administrative division of Singapore) and further into Electoral Districts are treated together because
of its hierarchical nature. Since November 2001, Singapore has had an administrative subdivision
into 5 districts, headed by mayors and with Community Development Councils (CDCs) as local
administrations.
The CDCs initiate, plan and manage community programmes to promote community bonding and
social cohesion. The electoral boundaries of Singapore are relatively fluid, and are reviewed prior to
each general election. The districts are composed of the constituencies and electoral districts (the
latter as of the 2006 General Elections):
Community Development Council Districts[edit]
Main article: Community Development Council
There are currently five CDCs, namely the
Central Singapore Community Development Council
North East Community Development Council
North West Community Development Council
South East Community Development Council
South West Community Development Council
The council boundaries follow that of the existing political divisions, with each handling between four
to six GRCs and SMCs and roughly dividing the country's population into equal parts. Each CDC is
managed by a Council, which in turn is headed by amayor and has between 12 to 80 members. The
members are appointed by the Chairman or Deputy Chairman of the People's Association.
Regions[edit]
Main article: Regions of Singapore
The regions are groupings of the Urban planning areas.
Urban Planning Areas[edit]
Main article: Urban planning areas in Singapore

Singapore is divided into 64 survey districts, of which 34 are mukims (originally, rural districts) and
30 are town subdivisions.
