The ceremonial county of Surrey is divided into 11 parliamentary constituencies which are wholly within the county boundaries. In addition, there are two constituencies which cross the county boundary - one with Hampshire (Farnham and Bordon) and one with Berkshire (Windsor). These thirteen seats are sub-classified into three of borough type and ten of county status, affecting the level of expenses permitted and the status of the returning officer.

Surrey residents comprise a majority of the Farnham and Bordon constituency, with Hampshire residents in the minority. However, in the Windsor constituency Surrey residents comprise only a small minority, with the overwhelming majority being Berkshire residents.

One might therefore say that there are effectively 12 ‘Surrey constituencies’ in all - 11 seats that are wholly in Surrey, plus the Farnham and Bordon constituency where Surrey residents are in the majority, where the Surrey town of Farnham is the main town within the seat, and where Surrey constitutes the majority of the land area of the seat.

The county saw the vast bulk of its population and seats removed on the creation of the County of London in 1889 and its wider replacement by the county of Greater London in 1965.

Reflecting its mainly suburban and rural (and relatively prosperous) nature, all the seats covering the present definition of Surrey were held by Conservative MPs at each and every general election since 1885, with the exception of three Liberals in 1906, one Liberal Democrat in 2001, and six Liberal Democrats in 2024.

Eleven other seats fell within the north-east of Surrey until 1965, forming the metropolitan part closest to London and the majority of the population (shown in the Historical Representation tables below). These were moved into Greater London leaving a predominantly suburban and rural content.

2010 boundary changes Under the fifth periodic review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain the existing 11 constituencies in Surrey, with only very minor changes to four of them.

For the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to combine Surrey with Berkshire and Hampshire as a sub-region of the South East Region.

As a result, the majority of the abolished constituency of South West Surrey was combined with parts of the constituency of East Hampshire to form a cross-county boundary constituency named Farnham and Bordon. The remainder of South West Surrey was combined with parts of Guildford, Mole Valley and Surrey Heath to form the new constituency of Godalming and Ash. The communities of Englefield Green and Virginia Water in the borough of Runnymede were included in the Berkshire constituency of Windsor.

Following some significant changes to Mole Valley, this constituency was renamed Dorking and Horley.

Other boundary changes included the Woking constituency losing its two Guildford Borough Council villages of Normandy and Pirbright to a revised Surrey Heath constituency. Woking constituency thereby became coterminous with the Woking Borough Council area for the first time in its history as a Parliamentary seat.

The eleven boroughs and districts that constitute the modern county of Surrey contributed to the twelve Surrey constituencies (plus the Berkshire constituency of Windsor) as follows:

Results history Primary data source: House of Commons research briefing – General election results from 1918 to 2019

2024 The number of votes cast for each political party that fielded candidates in the twelve constituencies comprising Surrey in the 2024 general election were as follows in the chart below:Vote shares include the cross-county constituency of Farnham and Bordon which has a majority Surrey electorate, and excludes the cross-county constituency of Windsor which has a majority Berkshire electorate.

(N.B. In 2024, the Conservative Party lost five seats on their previous total of holding all eleven Surrey constituencies at the 2019 general election. However, given that all twelve revised Surrey seats in 2024 - including the ‘new’ seat of Godalming and Ash - had all been notionally Conservative on the 2019 general election results, one might equally well argue that the Conservatives lost six Surrey seats in 2024, half of the total).
