Powys constituencies


Powys is divided into two constituencies of the House of Commons of the UK Parliament (Westminster), which are also used for elections to the National Assembly for Wales. The current boundaries have been effective since the Welsh Assembly election, 2007 and the 2010 UK general election.

Powys is one of the eight preserved counties of Wales, and has the name and boundaries of one of the 22 principal areas.

For Welsh Assembly elections, constituencies are grouped into additional member electoral regions, and changes to constituency boundaries mean, also, changes to regional boundaries.

The Clwyd South constituency was also partly a Clwyd constituency.

As part of the Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies the Boundary Commission for Wales proposed changes to almost all the existing Welsh Westminster constituencies, giving some of them Welsh language names.

The Mid and West Wales region also includes five Dyfed constituencies and one Gwynedd constituency.
