Washim was a Lok Sabha constituency in Maharashtra state in western India from 1977 (6th Lok Sabha) till 2004 elections (14th Lok Sabha). It was established before the 1977 Lok Sabha elections^[1] following the abolition of the Khamgaon Lok Sabha constituency, which had existed for three terms in the eighbouring Buldhana district.
