Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census.[3] The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.[4]

Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission renumbered the seat for Chittagong-16 (Sandwip) to Chittagong-3, bumping up by one the suffix of the former constituency of that name and higher numbered constituencies in the district. Thus Chittagong-6 covers the area previously covered by Chittagong-5. Previously Chittagong-6 encompassed Rangunia Upazila and one union parishad of Boalkhali Upazila: Sreepur Kharandwip.[5][2][6]
