Aberdeen North is a Constituency of the House Of Commons of the Parliament Of The United Kingdom . It elects one Member Of Parliament (MP) by the First Past The Post system of election.

BOUNDARIES


The new boundaries of Aberdeen North are very different from its predecessor seat, owing to the aboliton of Aberdeen Central . In the 1995 boundary changes, 20,000 or so voters were moved in from Gordon (UK Parliament Constituency) . In the redistribution for 2005, the Bridge of Don, Dyce and Danestone areas have been removed back into Gordon, with elements of Aberdeen Central joined in the southern parts.


HISTORY


Aberdeen North constituency was formed by the Redistribution Of Seats Act 1885 , when the Aberdeen constituency was split in two. Since then, the city has always been given at least two seats, varyingly with or without elements from Aberdeenshire.

Currently, there are two constituencies for the city, and three for the historic Aberdeenshire county.
