Doncaster Parliamentary constituencies

Doncaster is divided into and across four Parliamentary constituencies.

Three Constituencies are wholly contained within Doncaster, most of the fourth constituency consists of wards of Barnsley.

These divisions were drawn up for the 1997 General election when the Mexborough area was added to the Barnsley East constituency to create the new constituency of Barnsley East and Mexborough. These changes will be reversed for the 2010 General election when Doncaster will be again divided into three constituencies entirely located in the borough of Doncaster.[1]
