The constituency was created for the first time for the 2016 election. This seat covered northern and western Crimea, including the towns of Armyansk, Dzhankoy, Krasnoperekopsk, Saki and Yevpatoria, as well as northern Simferopol.
Since 2026: Armyansk, Chernomorsky District Dzhankoy, Dzhankoysky District, Krasnogvardeysky District, Krasnoperekopsk, Krasnoperekopsky District, Nizhnegorsky District, Pervomaysky District, Razdolnensky District, Saki, Saksky District, Sovetsky District, Yevpatoria[3]
After 2025 redistricting the constituency was significantly altered, as it gained mostly rural central Crimea from Kerch constituency. Consequently, the constituency lost its part of Simferopol and its suburbs to Simferopol constituency.
