Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Sarail Upazila and Ashuganj Upazila. ^{[3] [4]}

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-2 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. ^[5] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency. ^[6]

Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had also included three union parishads of Brahmanbaria Sadar Upazila: Budhanti, Chandura, and Harashpur. ^{[4] [7]}
