- British general election, 1715

Constituencies
See British general election, 1796 for details. The constituencies used were the same throughout the existence of the Parliament of Great Britain.
Dates of the election
The general election was held between 22 January 1715 and 9 March 1715. At this period elections did not take place at the same time in every constituency.
