Until the 1991 election, Malmöhus County had two Riksdag constituencies, while the current area has been divided into three. In the Malmöhus timeframe, the four cities of Helsingborg, Landskrona, Lund and Malmö formed a four-city constituency, while the rural areas formed the Malmöhus constituency. In 1994, the Malmö constituency was formed and the three other cities were divided into north-south redrawn boundaries. After the merger with Kristianstad County, these constituencies have been known as Skåne Southern and Skåne Western.
