Parliamentary boundary review 2023

Constituencies are changing

The Boundary Commission for England (BCE) is reviewing constituencies in England.

The BCE published its revised proposals for new constituency boundaries and the final four-week consultation period will run from 8 November until 5 December 2022.  This will be the final chance for the public to give the Commission their views on the new constituency boundaries and to shape the new map.

Its aim is to rebalance the number of electors in each constituency with each constituency having between 69,724 and 77,062 electors, so that each MP represents roughly the same number of electors.

The 2023 Boundary Review also requires the number of constituencies in England increase from 533 to 543.

The Commission has listened to the feedback sent in from the public, and have changed nearly half of the initial proposals published last year. The new revised proposals are now available to view via an interactive map on the consultation website bcereviews.org.uk [external website].

The comments sent during the first and second consultations can also viewed.

Comments on the proposals can be made via the website, email or letter.

Hard copies of the proposals are available to view at public places of deposit listed on the BCE website. You can give your feedback on anything from where the proposed electoral boundaries are, to the suggestions for new constituency names.

To tell the Commission whether the new proposals for constituencies best represent your local community, visit bcereviews.org.uk and have your say before 5 December 2022.
