Results of CDC by election

The Central Singapore CDC is among the most populated CDCs among all divisions throughout its lifetime as it represents the most number of elected seats in Parliament. Until 2015, at least one constituency in Central Singapore CDC had a walkover, but the PAP team had elected at relatively comfortable margins higher than the national average, which was first achieved in 2011 (coinciding with PAP winning Potong Pasir SMC since 1984). The Central Singapore CDC holds the highest scoring result out of the CDCs since 2020, peaking at 75.69% during the recent 2025 election.
