Council review records
The 2023 Boundary Review produced the constituency map used at the 2024 UK general election. Of the 650 former constituencies, 585 had a boundary change. The other 65 kept their boundary, although four received a new name. Some seats gained or lost areas. Others were split between several new constituencies. The House of Commons Library analysis explains these changes.

England · Name changedThe review aimed to make the number of registered voters in each constituency more equal. The total stayed at 650 seats, but their distribution changed. England received 543 seats, Scotland 57, Wales 32 and Northern Ireland 18. Five protected island constituencies had separate rules.
Independent Boundary Commissions reviewed each part of the UK. They considered local ties as well as voter numbers. In England, the process included initial proposals, public consultation, public hearings and revised proposals before the final recommendations in 2023. See the Boundary Commission for England's review and reports.
A name alone does not show how much a boundary changed. These examples show a split, a smaller constituency and a change of name with no boundary change.
The former seat was split between Barnsley North and Barnsley South. Of its residential premises, 86.8% moved to Barnsley North and 13.2% moved to Barnsley South.
The name stayed the same, but part of the area moved to Hampstead and Highgate. Holborn and St Pancras kept 87.8% of its former residential premises; 12.2% moved to the neighbouring seat.
Hove became Hove and Portslade. Its boundary stayed the same. This was a change of name, with no area transferred to another constituency.
Open a comparison to view the old boundary and its closest successor. Check all linked constituencies to see where the rest of the former seat went. The percentages measure residential premises, not votes or land area. The ward lists use 2023 ward boundaries. These figures come from the House of Commons Library data.
Constituencies elect MPs. Wards and electoral divisions elect local councillors. Their boundaries follow separate reviews and can change at different times. A constituency boundary change does not mean that a ward boundary changed on the same date.
In England, an electoral review can change ward boundaries and the number of councillors. It aims to balance the number of voters each councillor represents and reflect local communities. Read how the Local Government Boundary Commission for England reviews wards.
