Aljunied Constituency

Aljunied Constituency was a constituency in Aljunied, Singapore that was formed in 1959 and continued throughout till 1988. In 1988, following the establishment of Group representation constituency (GRC) and SMC, the constituency was merged with other constituencies to form the Aljunied GRC.^[1]

During the nomination day for the 1959 general election, Singapore Alliance's candidate, Lim Koon Teck's nomination to contest Aljunied Constituency was rejected by an assistant returning officer.^[2] People's Action Party's candidate S. V. Lingam had objected to the nomination of Lim as the serial number of Lim's proposer was not filled in on the duplicate of the nomination forms.^[3][4] Lim decided to appeal against the objection with an elections petition.^[4] As the electoral petition can only be filed after the elections are held, Lim decided not to file the petition as he did not wish the electorate of the constituency to have a by-election so soon after the general election, if his petition was successful.^[5] Lingam won the election.

Note : Elections Department Singapore do not include rejected votes for calculation of candidate's vote share. Hence, the total of all candidates' vote share will be 100%.
