If you are looking for a GIF that captures the changes from this year's electoral boundaries report, look no further, for it is here:

You're welcome, of course.

Wait, is that moving too fast? We anticipate your need accordingly, and break it up for you.

Here's what it looked like in 2011 — shaded in grey are the constituencies that will disappear in the upcoming election:

And here's what the new boundaries look like, with the coloured areas demarcating the new constituencies added for the upcoming election:

Want to find out if you will be voting in a new GRC? You can look at the super-duper zoomed-in and detailed map on the last page of the committee's White Paper here. Be forewarned, though, you'll need to know exactly where you live by street names — blocks and landmarks aren't shown in it.

But if you'd like to read some stories about the changes, we've got many for you to look at.

You can start here, for a 60-second rundown of the key changes shown here.

Then you can read about how Moulmein-Kallang GRC is gone, as well as Joo Chiat SMC. Additionally, a new SMC in MacPherson (helmed currently by Tin Pei Ling) has sprung up.

We also ask five thoughtful questions after digesting the changes, and also point to five possible implications of this round of redrawing.

And just for kicks, we also size up how hardworking each SMC's MP is, and judge which media's version of the constituency map is better.

That's all folks! (For now, because we will of course be back in no time with more).
