2023 boundary changes See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.
Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021. The Commission calculated that the number of seats to be allocated to the South West region would be increased by 3, from 55 to 58. Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.
Under the proposals, the following constituencies for the region came into effect at the 2024 general election: ConstituencyElectorateCeremonial countyLocal authorityBath CC73,241SomersetBath and North East SomersetBournemouth East BC73,173DorsetBournemouth, Christchurch and PooleBournemouth West BC72,094DorsetBournemouth, Christchurch and PooleBridgwater CC71,418SomersetSomersetBristol Central BC70,227BristolBristolBristol East BC75,936BristolBristolBristol North East BC69,793Bristol / GloucestershireBristol / South GloucestershireBristol North West BC76,783BristolBristolBristol South BC74,696BristolBristolCamborne and Redruth CC73,568CornwallCornwallCentral Devon CC73,491DevonMid Devon / Teignbridge / West DevonCheltenham BC75,292GloucestershireCheltenhamChippenham CC71,648WiltshireWiltshireChristchurch CC71,598DorsetBournemouth, Christchurch and Poole / DorsetEast Wiltshire CC71,109WiltshireSwindon / WiltshireExeter BC71,713DevonExeterExmouth and Exeter East CC74,502DevonEast Devon / ExeterFilton and Bradley Stoke CC73,598GloucestershireSouth GloucestershireForest of Dean CC71,510GloucestershireForest of Dean / TewkesburyFrome and East Somerset CC70,177SomersetBath and North East Somerset / SomersetGlastonbury and Somerton CC70,015SomersetSomersetGloucester BC76,695GloucestershireGloucesterHoniton and Sidmouth CC74,365DevonEast Devon / Mid DevonMelksham and Devizes CC71,823WiltshireWiltshireMid Dorset and North Poole CC74,305DorsetBournemouth, Christchurch and Poole / DorsetNewton Abbot CC72,956DevonTeignbridgeNorth Cornwall CC75,034CornwallCornwallNorth Cotswolds CC70,915GloucestershireCotswold / Stroud / TewkesburyNorth Devon CC76,455DevonNorth DevonNorth Dorset CC72,109DorsetDorsetNorth East Somerset and Hanham CC73,113Gloucestershire / SomersetBath and North East Somerset / South GloucestershireNorth Somerset CC73,963SomersetNorth SomersetPlymouth Moor View BC73,378DevonPlymouthPlymouth Sutton and Devonport BC73,495DevonPlymouthPoole BC72,162DorsetBournemouth, Christchurch and PooleSalisbury CC70,242WiltshireWiltshireSouth Cotswolds CC72,865Gloucestershire / WiltshireCotswold / Stroud / WiltshireSouth Devon CC71,691DevonSouth Hams / TorbaySouth Dorset CC76,640DorsetDorsetSouth East Cornwall CC71,734CornwallCornwallSouth West Devon CC75,371DevonPlymouth / South Hams / West DevonSouth West Wiltshire CC71,551WiltshireWiltshireSt Austell and Newquay CC74,585CornwallCornwallSt Ives CC70,107CornwallCornwall / Isles of ScillyStroud CC76,249GloucestershireStroudSwindon North CC72,163WiltshireSwindonSwindon South BC72,468WiltshireSwindonTaunton and Wellington CC76,049SomersetSomersetTewkesbury CC72,426GloucestershireCheltenham / Gloucester / TewkesburyThornbury and Yate CC74,985GloucestershireSouth GloucestershireTiverton and Minehead CC70,829Devon / SomersetMid Devon / SomersetTorbay BC75,742DevonTorbayTorridge and Tavistock CC74,802DevonTorridge / West DevonTruro and Falmouth CC73,326CornwallCornwallWells and Mendip Hills CC69,843SomersetNorth Somerset / SomersetWest Dorset CC75,390DorsetDorsetWeston-super-Mare CC70,722SomersetNorth SomersetYeovil CC76,056SomersetSomerset 2024 results The number of votes cast for each political party who fielded candidates in constituencies comprising the South West region in the 2024 general election were as follows: PartyVotes%Changefrom 2019SeatsChange from2019 (actual)Change from2019 (notional)Conservative785,67228.2 24.611 37 39Liberal Democrats686,92124.7 6.522 21 21Labour682,08024.5 1.224 18 17Reform UK384,25013.8 13.40 0 0Green206,7807.4 3.61 1 1Others39,7371.4 0.10 0 0Total2,785,440100.058 3
