Electoral system[edit]

The election will be fought under the boundaries created by the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies.[3] Due to population growth, England will elect 10 more MPs than in 2019.[4] North East, North West, and West Midlands lost seats, while East Midlands, East, London, South East, and South West gained seats.[5]

Italics denotes incumbent MPs not contesting the election.
