History
Carlisle has existed as a seat since the Model Parliament in 1295. It was represented by Labour Party MPs from 1964-2010, although the Conservative candidate came within 2% of taking the seat in 1983-1987, and has been held by John Stevenson of the Conservative Party since the 2010 general election.
Boundaries
1918–1983: The County Borough of Carlisle.
1983–1997: The City of Carlisle wards of Belah, Belle Vue, Botcherby, Currock, Denton Holme, Harraby, Morton, St Aidan's, Stanwix Urban, Trinity, Upperby, and Yewdale.
1997–2010: The City of Carlisle wards of Belah, Belle Vue, Botcherby, Burgh, Currock, Dalston, Denton Holme, Harraby, Morton, St Aidan's, St Cuthbert Without, Stanwix Urban, Trinity, Upperby, and Yewdale.
2010–present: The City of Carlisle wards of Belah, Belle Vue, Botcherby, Burgh, Castle, Currock, Dalston, Denton Holme, Harraby, Morton, St Aidan's, Stanwix Urban, Upperby, Wetheral, and Yewdale.
The Carlisle constituency covers the most populated part of the City of Carlisle district in Cumbria, including the city of Carlisle itself. It also covers the rural area of the district to the south and west of the city, including the village of Dalston. The remaining parts of the district are in the Penrith and The Border constituency. Historically the constituency was tightly drawn around the city which favour the Labour Party but has gradually expanded to contain more rural areas within the district that are far more Conservative-inclined, such as Burgh, Dalston and Wetheral. This has seen the constituency shift from being a safe Labour seat to marginal status.

Notes
^ A borough constituency (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)
^ As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election at least every five years — from 1295 until 1885 it had the right to send two MPs in most years.
