East Hampshire, Electoral district in South East England, United Kingdom.
East Hampshire is an electoral district in South East England that brings together several market towns and rural villages under one parliamentary constituency. The area covers communities spread across Hampshire, creating a mix of small urban centers and countryside settlements.
The constituency was created in 1983, replacing an earlier electoral district in the same area. Over the decades, it has been represented by different Members of Parliament, with its boundaries adjusted most recently in 2023.
The electoral district integrates both urban centers and countryside communities, representing diverse interests from agriculture to modern commerce in the House of Commons.
The area is accessible by train and bus, with Alton and Petersfield serving as main transport hubs within the region. Rural villages may require a car to reach comfortably, while rail links connect the larger towns to wider networks.
Following the 2023 boundary review, the district underwent substantial changes, including the transfer of Bordon to another constituency and reintegration of Horndean sections.
