The constituency was created as the 23rd electoral district to the Chamber of Deputies for the areas of Subcarpathian Ruthenia by the Act of February 29, 1920.[4] Amongst the Senate constituencies, the Užhorod electoral district carried the number 13.[5] As of February 1921 Czechoslovak authorities estamited that the electoral district had a total population of 605,731.[2] When the 22nd Těšín electoral district was abolished the Užhorod constituency was given the number 22.[4]
Elections for deputies from Subcarpathian Ruthenia were held in 1924 (to the assembly elected in the Czechoslovak parliamentary election, 1920).[1][3][4] The Communist Party emerged victorious in spite of the prevailing repressive climate, with arrests of their agitators and ban on communist meetings.[6]
Between the 1924 vote and the 1925 election the borders of the constituency were changed.[4]
