Continuing the trend of People's Action Party's renewal just as they did in the 1970 by-elections, six seats, including Communications minister Yong Nyuk Lin, were vacated on 12 January to make room for six new MPs.

A seventh seat in Anson was earlier vacated a year prior following the death of Perumal Govindaswamy.

In the end, only Geylang West (which one United Front (now Democratic Progressive Party) candidate was later disqualified) and Nee Soon were uncontested.
