Constituency boundaries and council areas

The Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, in 1999, with the name and boundaries of an existing Westminster constituency. In 2005, however, Scottish Westminster (House of Commons) constituencies were mostly replaced with new constituencies [See [http://www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk/ "The 5th Periodical Report of the Boundary Commission for Scotland] "] .

The Holyrood constituency covers a southern portion of the South Ayrshire council area and a southern portion of the East Ayrshire council area. The rest of the South Ayrshire area is covered by the Ayr constituency. The rest of the East Ayrshire area is covered by the Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency, which is in the Central Scotland electoral region.
