Tables
- (Type of constituency) BC Borough constituency, CC County constituency, UC University constituency.
The historic county of Hampshire (formerly Southamptonshire) is divided between its mainland and Isle of Wight parts. The only overlap is for the two member county constituency before 1832, which is included in the mainland entry. Otherwise the article allocates all constituencies to the historic county they are wholly or predominantly located in. Borough constituencies which were located in counties of themselves, county boroughs or unitary authorities have been allocated to the geographic historic county they were associated with even if they had had no administrative connection for centuries (the City of London and Middlesex for example).
Rutland has not provided the predominant part of any constituency since 1918, but all other historic counties have contained at least one seat until the present.
