The upcoming General Election on Thursday July 4 will be the first fought under new constituency boundaries and a reduced number of Welsh Members of Parliament.

The changes were finalised and announced by the Boundary Commission in June 2023 after a several year review into the electoral map.

It will see a reduction from 40 parliamentary constituencies to 32, with each containing between 69,724 and 77,062 electors.
