Whitton boundary changes
In 2021, the Boundary Commission for England (BCE) carried out a statutory review of all the parliamentary constituency boundaries in the UK. The purpose of the review was to make the number of electors in each constituency more equal.
In their final report to Parliament, the BCE recommended that Whitton ward in the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames form part of the Brentford and Isleworth constituency. These recommendations were accepted by Parliament and have now been implemented for the General Election on 4 July 2024. This means that residents in Whitton ward will now vote for the Brentford and Isleworth constituency MP, and not the Twickenham one.
Check which ward you live in.

Media guidance
To attend the count after polls close on 4 July, media organisations must register for accreditation in advance.
