Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Matlab Dakshin and Matlab Uttar upazilas. [2] [3]

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-20 constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: Brahmanbaria, Comilla, and Chandpur.

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. [4] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency. [5]

Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency. Previously, it had excluded one union parishad of Matlab Dakshin Upazila: Narayanpur. [3] [6]
