Satkhira-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh.
The constituency encompasses Satkhira Sadar and Debhata upazila.[2][3][4]
History
The constituency was created in 1984 from the Khulna-14 constituency when the former Khulna District was split into three districts: Bagerhat, Khulna, and Satkhira.
In the 2018 general election, the constituency was one of six chosen by lottery to use electronic voting machines.[5]
Ahead of the 2026 general election, the Election Commission decided to expand the boundaries of the constituency to include Debhata upazila.[6]
