This is a list of 300 parliamentary constituencies currently represented in the Jatiyo Shangshad, the unicameral national legislature of Bangladesh. Each constituency is represented by a single Member of Parliament. The Jatiyo Shangshad of Bangladesh consists of 345 seats, of which 45 seats are reserved for women, who are elected by the 300 directly elected members on the basis of procedure of proportional representation in the Parliament through single transferable vote.[1]
