90% of UK Constituencies Affected Ahead of July 4th Election

Live Results Starting July 4th, 2024 at 2:00 PM PDT

Major changes to UK parliamentary constituency boundaries are set to take effect for the upcoming election on July 4th, 2024. These changes will impact approximately 90% of constituencies, potentially altering the political landscape of the country.

The Boundary Commission for England, which is responsible for redrawing constituency boundaries, has been working on these changes for several years. The aim is to ensure that each constituency has a roughly equal number of voters, in line with the principle of "one person, one vote."

The changes have been met with mixed reactions. Some argue that they are necessary to create a more fair and representative electoral system. Others have expressed concerns that they could lead to gerrymandering, where political parties manipulate constituency boundaries to their advantage.

The impact of these boundary changes on the outcome of the election remains to be seen. However, they are sure to be a major talking point in the run-up to the vote.

Live results from the election will be available on the BBC website starting at 2:00 PM PDT on July 4th, 2024. The BBC's coverage will include live updates, seat projections, and analysis from a team of experts.
