What does the General Election mean for Birmingham? The new constituencies explained

Don’t forget to register to vote

In a significant reshuffling, the upcoming general election on July 4th will see Birmingham and the West Midlands voters casting their ballots within newly drawn constituencies.

This boundary overhaul reduces the number of parliamentary seats in the region from 59 to 57. Birmingham itself retains five constituencies but with altered boundaries, focusing on Edgbaston, Ladywood, Northfield, Yardley, and Sutton Coldfield. Notably, the Black Country and Wolverhampton face major changes. Wolverhampton shifts from its original three constituencies to three renamed and redrawn ones, including a notable switch from Wolverhampton South West to Wolverhampton West. Additionally, the newly created seats, like West Bromwich, incorporate parts of previous constituencies.

The new Tipton and Wednesbury seat emerges by combining sections of three former areas. Watch our video above to find out more about Birmingham’s new voting constituencies.
