The constituency was created from the former Rajshahi-5 constituency when, 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 reapportionment transferred one seat from Sirajganj District to Rajshahi District. [5] The new seat took the name Rajshahi-3, [6] bumping up by one the suffix of the former constituency of that name and higher numbered constituencies in the district.
