A small thing, but I wonder if you're not getting too focussed on post codes. Seems easy to do in this group, but anyway...
You may well have groups of people that want to sign up for constituencies in which they don't live, and indeed the option of multiple constituencies implies that some will. It would probably be easier for them to simply choose the constituency than to figure out a postcode that maps to it as suggested in the google doc spec. Indeed might be easier to just have everybody pick the constituency or constituencies they want to work in -- which would also eliminate all future work of keeping the post codes to constituencies mapping up to date, though it would also increase the importance of letting people manage their own sign-up commitments to change constituency if they wish to follow shifting borders... allbests, .................................................................................
