Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Tangail Sadar Upazila.[2][3]

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]

The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
