Brahmanbaria-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency remains vacant.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Bijoynagar and Brahmanbaria Sadar upazilas.

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Comilla-3 constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: Brahmanbaria, Comilla, and Chandpur.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency to include all of the former Brahmanbaria Sadar. Previously the constituency had excluded six union parishads: Budhal, Budhanti, Chandura, Harashpur, Majlishpur, and Purba Talsahar.
