Cinque ports parliament constituencies information
Form of constituency in pre-1832 UK House of Commons
Until the Reform Act 1832, there were eight constituencies in the Parliament of England and its successors related to the Cinque Ports.[1] The cinque port constituencies were slightly different from parliamentary boroughs. The 1832 Act abolished most such distinctions, and disfranchised some of the cinque ports as rotten.
