**Shariatpur-3** is a constituency represented in the [Jatiya Sangsad](/source/Jatiya_Sangsad) (National Parliament) of [Bangladesh](/source/Bangladesh). Since 6 August 2024, the constituency remains vacant.

## Boundaries

The constituency encompasses [Damudya](/source/Damudya_Upazila) and [Gosairhat](/source/Gosairhat_Upazila) upazilas and the Bhedarganj Thana portion of [Bhedarganj Upazila](/source/Bhedarganj_Upazila), all in [Shariatpur District](/source/Shariatpur_District). Bhedarganj Thana consists of Bhedarganj Municipality and Chhaygaon, Mahisar, Naryanpur, and Rambhadrapur [Union Parishads](/source/Union_Parishad).[2][3]

## History

The constituency was created in 1984 from the Faridpur-16 constituency when the former Faridpur District was split into five districts: [Rajbari](/source/Rajbari_District), [Faridpur](/source/Faridpur_District), [Gopalganj](/source/Gopalganj_District_(Bangladesh)), [Madaripur](/source/Madaripur_District), and [Shariatpur](/source/Shariatpur_District).[4]

Ahead of the [2008 general election](/source/2008_Bangladeshi_general_election), the [Election Commission](/source/Bangladesh_Election_Commission) redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the [2001 Bangladesh census](/source/2001_Bangladesh_census).[5] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[6]
