A
Group Representation Constituency (
GRC) is a type of electoral division or
constituency in
Singapore where the
Members of Parliament (MPs) are voted into
Parliament as a group. The
Government stated that the GRC scheme was primarily implemented to enshrine minority representation in Parliament: at least one of the MPs in a GRC must be a member of the
Malay,
Indian or another minority community of Singapore. In addition, it was economical for town councils, which manage
public housing estates, to handle larger constituencies.
