Parliamentary constituency
A parliamentary constituency is a geographic area represented by a Member of Parliament (MP) in a country's legislature. It divides the country into sections so that each area elects a representative to voice the concerns and interests of its residents. When people living in that area vote, they choose their candidate to serve as their MP. This system ensures that different regions have direct representation in national decision-making, allowing local issues to be addressed within the broader legislative process. In short, a constituency is a defined community with its own representative in Parliament.
