Tiverton (UK Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tiverton was a constituency located in east Devon, formerly represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Enfranchised in 1615, it elected two Members of Parliament (MPs) by the first past the post system of election until the 1884 Reform Bill reduced this to one.
In 1997, it was merged with the neighbouring constituency of Honiton to form the Tiverton and Honiton constituency.
