Merseburg (electoral district)

Merseburg was an electoral district (German: Wahlkreis) in Germany. Specifically, it refers to a former constituency used for elections to the German Parliament, the Bundestag. The district's boundaries and name reflect the city of Merseburg, located in the state of Saxony-Anhalt.

The electoral district covered a specific geographical area surrounding Merseburg. These areas were defined by administrative boundaries, and the specifics of these boundaries changed during redistricting reforms. The district elected one Member of Parliament (MP) directly, typically through a first-past-the-post system. The elected MP represented the interests of the district's population in the Bundestag.

Following electoral reforms or redistricting, the Merseburg electoral district may have been altered or abolished. Information regarding its exact boundaries and history is best obtained from official sources, such as the Federal Returning Officer (Bundeswahlleiter) or the relevant state election authorities in Saxony-Anhalt. Further information, like the exact numerical designation of the district within the Saxony-Anhalt constituency list (e.g., Wahlkreis 71 or Wahlkreis 72), would be necessary for more specific historical research.
