A new survey reveals that a significant portion of Singapore’s electorate has yet to commit to a political party as the country gears up for a general election expected later this year. Among those who have already chosen, the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) remains the preferred choice for most.

The poll, conducted by YouGov in March, surveyed 1,845 Singaporeans and found that only 44% had settled on a party. Of these decided voters, 63% supported the PAP, while 15% favored the main opposition, the Workers’ Party (WP).

Public sentiment was also split: half of the respondents held a positive opinion of the PAP, while 42% viewed the Workers' Party favorably. YouGov noted that this could suggest stronger-than-usual competition for the ruling party in the upcoming contest

In March, Singapore redrew its electoral boundaries—an action typically signaling that an election is on the horizon. By law, the general election must occur by November.

This election will mark a pivotal moment for Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who stepped into the top leadership role in May last year, succeeding longtime leader Lee Hsien Loong.

Roughly 2.76 million Singaporeans aged 21 and above are eligible to vote, with 97 parliamentary seats in contention across 15 single-member constituencies and 18 group representation constituencies, each comprising four or five members.

YouGov's data showed that voter certainty varied by age. Baby boomers—those born between 1946 and 1964—were the most decisive, with 51% already committed to a voting choice. In contrast, just 30–39% of voters aged 21 to 44 had made up their minds. Official figures indicate that there are approximately 855,800 baby boomers in Singapore, while Millennials and Gen Z voters total around 1.17 million.
