Pirojpur-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Mathbaria Upazila.[2][3]

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from a Bakerganj constituency when the former Bakerganj District was split into four districts: Bhola, Bakerganj, Jhalokati, and Pirojpur.

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]

Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission reduced the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it had also included one union parishad of Bhandaria Upazila: Telikhali.[3][6]
