List of Parliamentary constituencies in Powys
- List of Parliamentary constituencies in Powys
There are three constitencies covering Powys. They are all county constituencies (CCs) of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster), and are used also, since the 1999 Welsh Assembly election, for elections to the National Assembly for Wales.
Powys is one of the eight preserved counties of Wales, and has the name and boundaries of one of the 22 principal areas.
One of the constituencies straddles the boundary with another preserved county, and Boundary Commission for Wales proposals for new boundaries have been accepted, [ [http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2006/20061041.htm "The Parliamentary Constituencies and Assembly Electoral Regions (Wales) Order 2006", OPSI website] ] to become effective for the next United Kingdom general election and the Welsh Assembly election, 2007. The new boundaries define two constituencies covering the preserved county of Powys, both entirely within its boundary.
For Welsh Assembly elections, constituencies are grouped into additional member electoral regions, and changes to constituency boundaries mean, also, changes to regional boundaries.
Boundaries for the three existing constituencies were defined before changes to the boundaries of preserved counties under the Preserved Counties (Amendment to Boundaries) (Wales) Order 2003, which came into effect in 2003, and before changes to local government boundaries under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, which came into effect in 1996.
