• Single Member Constituency (SMC) – three minutes per candidate;
• Group Representative Constituency (GRC) – 12 minutes per four-member GRC, and 15 minutes per five-member GRC. For GRCs, parties can decide if one or more members will speak during the allotted time. The entire GRC team also does not have to be present for their respective CPBs.

On Monday, CPBs were aired for Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, Marymount SMC, Mountbatten SMC, Nee Soon GRC and Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.
