General elections in Singapore must be held within three months after five years have elapsed from the date of the first sitting of a particular Parliament of Singapore.
 However, in most cases Parliament is dissolved and a general election called at the behest of the Prime Minister before the five-year period elapses.
 The number of constituencies or electoral divisions is not permanently fixed by law, but is declared by the Prime Minister prior to each general election pursuant to the Parliamentary Elections Act (Cap.
 218, 2011 Rev. Ed.
) , which governs the conduct of elections to Parliament, taking into account recommendations of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee.
 For the 2015 general election, there were 89 seats in Parliament organised into 13 Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) and 16 Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs).
 Each SMC returns one Member of Parliament while each GRC returns between three and six MPs, at least one of whom must be from the Malay, Indian or other minority communities.
 A group of persons wishing to stand for election in a GRC must all be members of the same political party, or a group of independent candidates.
 The voting age in Singapore is 21 years. Sarawak state election, 1969
The first Sarawak state election was held from Saturday, 10 May 1969 and scheduled to be completed on Saturday, 7 June 1969 which lasted for 4 weeks and was carried out in staggered basis.
 This was due to the lack of transportation and communication systems in the state at that time.
 The state election was held at the same time as the 1969 general election.
 The Dewan Rakyat of the Malaysian Parliament and all the state assemblies were dissolved on 20 March 1969, except for Kelantan (which dissolved later on 31 March) and Sabah (which were not up for election as it had held its state election in 1967).
 The nomination date was set on Saturday, 5 April 1969.
 However, because of the riot occurred during 13 May incident and the declaration of emergency and the promulgation of Emergency (Essential Powers) Ordinance No. 1 of 1969 on 15 May 1969, all the ongoing polls were suspended until 1970.
 During when the suspension was enforced, polling in 9 out of 48 constituencies in Sarawak had started.
 None of the elections in Sarawak was completed at that time. Samuel Manetoali

 .
 He contested as an independent candidate in last week's election.
.
 As a lawyer, many people had expected more from him seeing that many world leaders including Barack Obama and Tony Abott are lawyers by profession and he appears to be a potential candidate for the prime minister's post given his experience as a politician (3 terms including the current term) and his noble profession.
 His current success in the recent election could be attributed to projects such as mini-fisheries projects that he established in the various villages in his constituency.
 He also helped the villages and communities by giving handouts such as roofing irons, outboard motor engines, fiber boats, solar panels, cash money and other form of support as a way to maintain and broaden his support.
 He also supported local tourism in his constituency by giving financial help to tourism operators such as on Sigana Island,albeit, tourism is still at its infant stage in his constituency.
 His other elixir to maintain his popularity and support is through facilitating and sending Bamboo Bands/groups notably the Hageulu bamboo band overseas for the promotion of tourism and culture for the country and he managed to do that in his capacity as the minister of Tourism and Culture in the Lilo-led government.
 He was also instrumental in establishing the Gao-Bugotu Cultural Festival initially held in Huali Village in Gao and in Sepi/Lepi Villages in Bugotu. Scottish National Party
