National legislatures are often called 'houses', 'senates' or 'chambers'.
The constituencies are the areas that members of the legislatures represent. They are described by electoral boundary files. Please tell us about these electoral boundary files.
Please be careful not to submit polling districts. Polling districts are the areas which define the catchment of a polling station and are usually smaller than the constituency.
Where constituencies are the same as administrative districts these can be accepted.

Data is from a community maintained source and so is not authoritative, The issues highlighted by the source are as follows: 1 - The Parliamentary Constituencies for the states of Jammu And Kashmir, Jharkhand, Assam, Manipur, Nagaland & Arunachal Pradesh, appear to be pre-delimitation boundaries. 2 - There is some shift in the data. 3 - Some Parliamentary Constituencies Names seem to be incorrect or Missing. 4 - The Parliamentary Constituencies in the State of Telengana are still marked as belonging to Andhra Pradesh. However at present there is no definitive version we are aware of.
