Constituency and municipality in the election year

Grouping of municipalities and constituencies
Municipalities are placed in constituencies in accordance with the division
of constituencies in force in the 2023 Parliamentary elections. With regard
to earlier elections, it should be noted that the total number of
constituencies is correct but municipalities are not always under the right
constituencies. This is because municipalities may have changed
constituency.
