# Parliamentary constituencies in the East of England

The region of the East of England is divided into 61 parliamentary constituencies which is made up of 14 borough constituencies and 47 county constituencies. Since the general election of July 2024, 27 are represented by Labour MPs, 23 by Conservative MPs, seven by Liberal Democrat MPs, three by Reform UK MPs, and one by a Green MP.

## 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 Eastern region would increase by 3, from 58 to 61. 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 and came into effect at the 2024 general election.
