Commonly abbreviated as MP, a Member of Parliament is voted in at regular General Elections or sometimes By-elections.
Uniquely, Singapore has 3 types:
Elected MP
Elected MPs are those who have been elected into Parliament at a General Election/By-election on a first-past-the-post basis and represent either Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) or Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs). First Past the Post voting system, inherited from the UK, ensures only a single representative is the winner. If many candidates contest for one seat and votes are split many ways, the winner can be determined even when he only secures a 30% ++ portion of the votes. Refer to Presidential Election.
