Constituency boundaries

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies made a series of changes to the boundaries of the 18 Northern Ireland parliamentary constituency areas. These were passed into law in 2023 and came into effect following the 2024 Westminster election. However, there is at present a disparity in Northern Ireland’s constituencies between Westminster and the Northern Ireland Assembly, as seats in the Assembly continue to reflect the boundaries previous to the Review. The May 2027 Northern Ireland Assembly elections will take place based on the updated constituencies.

A set of maps has been created to illustrate the new boundaries in place for each constituency. Please note that these files have been created for optimal printing in A1 format:

The interactive map available below has been created to help understand differences in constituency boundaries brought about by the Boundary Review. Click on the map below, or on this link, to open the interactive resource.

You can also access an overall Northern Ireland Parliamentary Constituencies map which may be more accessible on a smaller screen. If you have issues using our interactive map, you can view text descriptions of wards affected by the constituency boundary changes.
