% of Singaporeans who voted for PAP for the last 9 Elections
<hr style="color: rgb(152, 152, 152); background-color: rgb(152, 152, 152);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> These are % of Singaporeans who voted for the PAP since 1972 over 9 General Elections based on the number of eligible voters for the whole of Singapore.
Many Singaporeans as you know have never voted due to walkovers but the cause of the walkovers are seen by some as people not keen to take part in politics and others who believe that PAP has put unreasonable obstacles for free and fair eledctions.
1972 - 57% voted for PAP out of total electorate voters including those in walkover seats who were not given an opportunity to vote.
1976 - 53%
1980 - 38%
1984 - 38%
1988 - 50%
1991 - 28%
1997 - 24%
2001 - 23%
2006 - 33%
Guess what happened in 1988, when the "popularity" of PAP shot up sky high.
