Boundary Commission (UK)

The Boundary Commissions for the UK are independent bodies responsible for reviewing and proposing changes to the boundaries and electoral divisions within England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Their main goal is to ensure fair and equal representation by adjusting constituency borders based on population shifts, ensuring each member of Parliament represents roughly the same number of people. They follow legal and procedural guidelines, conducting detailed consultations and analyses before recommending boundary changes. Their work helps maintain a balanced and effective parliamentary system, reflecting demographic changes while preserving community identities.
