==History==
Hexham was one of the 75 electorates contested at the first post-independence election in 1946. Since its creation, it has remained a marginal seat, and a near-bellwether; it has only elected an opposition member at one of the 19 elections it has been contested (2010). At the same time, Hexham has only been held by a margin of more than 6 percent twice (1970 and 1994).
In 2018, Hexham elected Enderron's first openly trans MP, Kristen Zhang.
