The next general election in the UK will be fought across 650 new constituencies after boundary changes were approved by parliament. While no election has taken place along these boundaries yet, research by psephologists Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher, academics at the University of Plymouth, has estimated how, based on 2019 results, these new seats would have notionally voted in that election. Use the tool below to find your new constituency – and see what the notional results would be. Seventy-six seats, including for example Clacton, have been extended beyond their current boundaries to ensure they meet the minimum electoral threshold. They analysis shows that, were the last election fought on the new constituency boundaries, the Conservative majority would be 14 seats larger.
