Reykjavík South, Electoral constituency in Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik South is an electoral constituency encompassing multiple neighborhoods of Iceland's capital city, bounded by roads including Hringbraut, Miklubraut, and Vesturlandsvegur through the Grafarholt district. The area forms a cohesive electoral zone for parliamentary voting and administrative purposes.
The constituency was created in 1999 when Reykjavik's electoral district was divided into separate zones. The new arrangement held its first elections in 2003, establishing the current electoral structure.
This electoral district brings together different neighborhoods of Reykjavik that share in parliamentary voting and local civic participation. Residents here engage in the democratic process that shapes national governance from the capital city.
Voters can find polling locations and election information through the official Althing website before parliamentary elections. Voting facilities are distributed throughout the constituency to provide accessible access for all residents during election periods.
The constituency demonstrates a consistent voting pattern, with one party winning the first seat in most elections since the system began. This pattern reflects the enduring political preferences of southern Reykjavik voters.
