History
The town was represented in the Model Parliament convened in 1295 but not again until the modern constituency was created in 1885. From 1295 inclusive[n 2] to the one year parliament of 1831-32 its area was part of the Hampshire constituency and from 1832-1885 its area lay in the North Hampshire constituency.
Boundaries
The Basingstoke constituency is based around the town of Basingstoke, and the surrounding countryside, in Hampshire.
The Boundary Commission has proposed that the boundaries of Basingstoke and North West Hampshire be aligned to more closely match the town area.

For the 2015 election, the Green Party attempted to field two candidates who would job share.[5] Sarah Cope has young children and Clare Lorraine Phipps has a disability,[5] so neither could work as a full-time MP. Their application was rejected.[6]
