In Nepal, the House of Representatives (Parliamentary) has 165 constituencies (165 first-past-the-post constituencies and one nationwide constituency from which 110 members are elected by proportional representation),[1] whilst the seven provincial assemblies have a total of 337 constituencies (330 first-past-the-post constituencies and seven province-wide constituencies elected by proportional representation). The current constituencies are based on the Constituency Delimitation Commission (CDC) report submitted on 31 August 2017.[2][3] As per the constitution, the new constituencies cannot be altered for another 20 years (until 2027) and cannot be challenged in any court of law.[2]
