UK Parliamentary Constituencies Change Ahead of 2024 General Election
Massive Changes to Affect 90% of Constituencies
Voting Boundaries to Shift Significantly
As the United Kingdom prepares for the upcoming 2024 General Election, significant changes are being introduced to the nation's parliamentary constituency boundaries. The Boundary Commission for England, which is responsible for redrawing the electoral map, has announced that approximately 90% of constituencies will be affected by these revisions.
These changes are a result of a comprehensive review conducted by the Commission, which has taken into account population shifts and other factors. The goal of this redrawing process is to ensure that each constituency represents a roughly equal number of voters, as required by law.
The new constituency boundaries will be used for the first time in the 2024 General Election, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 4, 2024. The Boundary Commission has released a detailed report outlining the proposed changes, which can be viewed on its website.
Voters are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new constituency boundaries in their area and to check if their polling station has changed. The Boundary Commission has provided an interactive map on its website that allows users to explore the proposed changes and find their new polling station.
