Politics
The Mountbatten area was under the electoral district of both Mountbatten Single Member Constituency and the neighbouring Marine Parade-Braddell Heights Group Representation Constituency. The namesake SMC covers most of the western areas, Tanjong Rhu and Marina East, while the remainder covers the GRC. Mountbatten was part of the Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency (which has since been renamed to Marine Parade-Braddell Heights in 2025) between 1997 and 2011, where the constituency experienced a walkover during that period; since 2011, Mountbatten returned to being an SMC and both wards become contested for the first time since 1991, where Mountbatten faced an electoral contest since then, alongside Marine Parade (except in 2025).
Transportation
Mountbatten is served by Mountbatten MRT station and Dakota MRT station on the Circle MRT line. Both stations are situated beneath Old Airport Road.
