'''Bristol''' was a two-member constituency, used to elect members to the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]] in the Parliaments of England (to 1707), Great Britain (1707–1800), and the United Kingdom (from 1801). The constituency existed until Bristol was divided into single member constituencies in 1885.
 
==Boundaries==
The historic port city of [[Bristol]], is located in what is now the [[South West England|South West Region]] of [[England]]. It straddles the border between the historic geographical counties of Gloucestershire and Somerset. It was usually accounted as a Gloucestershire borough in the later part of the 19th and the 20th centuries.
 
The [[parliamentary borough]] of Bristol was represented in Parliament from the 13th century, as one of the most important population centres in the Kingdom. Namier and Brooke comment that in 1754 the city was the second largest in the Kingdom and had the third largest electorate for an urban seat.

==Elections==
During the existence of this constituency, Bristol was a city with the status of being a county of itself. That meant that the city was not subject to the administration of the officials of the geographic counties in which it was situated. In electoral terms it meant that the voters for the [[parliamentary borough]] included those qualified on the same 40 shilling freeholder franchise as that for a county constituency. Other electors qualified as freemen of the borough. These were the ancient right franchises, applicable to Bristol, preserved by the [[Reform Act 1832]], which also introduced a broader occupation franchise for all borough constituencies.
 
Bristol was a fairly partisan constituency in the eighteenth century with two rival clubs - the [[Union Club (Bristol)|Union Club]] for the [[Whigs (British political party)|Whigs]] and the [[Steadfast Society]] for the Tories.<ref>Pages 88 to 91,[[Lewis Namier]], ''[[The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III]]'' (2nd edition - London: St Martin's Press, 1957)</ref>
 
The [[Plurality-at-large voting|bloc vote]] electoral system was used in two seat elections and [[first past the post]] for single member by-elections. Each voter had up to as many votes as there were seats to be filled. Votes had to be cast by a spoken declaration, in public, at the [[hustings]] (until the secret ballot was introduced in 1872).
 
Namier and Brooke, in ''The House of Commons 1754-1790'', estimated the electorate of Bristol to number about 5,000.<ref>{{HistoryofParliament|1754|author=[[John Brooke (British historian)|John Brooke]]|title=Bristol|url=https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1754-1790/constituencies/bristol|accessdate=10 November 2022}}</ref> When registration of electors was introduced in 1832 the city had 10,315 names on the electoral register.
 
''Note on percentage change calculations:'' Where there was only one candidate of a party in successive elections, for the same number of seats, change is calculated on the party percentage vote. Where there was more than one candidate, in one or both successive elections for the same number of seats, then change is calculated on the individual percentage vote.
 
''Note on sources:'' The information for the election results given below is taken from Sedgwick 1715-17541715–1754, Namier and Brooke 1754-17901754–1790, Stooks Smith 1790-1832 and from Craig thereafter. Where Stooks Smith gives additional information or differs from the other sources this is indicated in a note after the result.
