List of Zimbabwean parliamentary constituencies explained

The following is a list of parliamentary constituencies in Zimbabwe, broken down by province.^[1] The National Assembly, the lower house of the Parliament of Zimbabwe, consists of 270 members. Of these, 210 are elected in single-member constituencies of roughly equal size, with provinces having a varying number of constituencies depending on population.
