Constituency number 231 confirmed by Wikipedia (Sylhet-3 article), Jugantor seat page, and Banglastream -- no discrepancy with the requested 231. Upazilas confirmed by multiple sources; Wikipedia also notes wards 28, 29, 30, 40, 41, 42 of Sylhet City Corporation are included in the boundary, but these are intra-city wards, not separate upazilas, so upazilas field lists the three administrative upazilas only.

Runner-up votes: BSS and Bonikbarta agree on 75,674; Banglastream reports 72,409 -- BSS used.
