New election boundaries will completely reshape the political landscape of Bath and North East Somerset, and North Somerset.

Since 2010, each council area has been divided into two constituencies. But the 2023 Boundary Review, which has now been presented to the House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, recommends drastic changes to all four of those constituencies and will see some areas join new constituencies altogether.

The boundary changes could mean people could be in a different constituency for general elections, but does not affect which local council covers certain areas, which will remain Bath and North East Somerset Council or North Somerset Council.

The proposed new constituencies came after three rounds of public consultations which included 32 public hearings.

Boundary Commission secretary Tim Bowden said: "We have taken into account over 60,000 public comments, travelled the country, and heard many passionate views about how best to reflect local community ties in our recommendations. We are confident that our final recommendations are the best reflection of the statutory rules Parliament has set us."

The government has four months to bring forward an order to bring the recommendations into effect. The next election is likely to be held next year, but could legally not happen until January 2025.

Here are how these could change who you vote for:

Bath (electorate 73,241)

The Boundary Commission's proposals for Bath will see the constituency revert to a more familiar shape as Bathavon North, which joined North East Somerset at the 2010 election, is to be made part of the Bath constituency again.

This means people from Kelston to Bathampton will vote for the Bath MP again, but will see the Bath lose its distinction as one of only two constituencies completely surrounded by another.

Wera Hobhouse has represented the seat for the Liberal Democrats since 2017.

The previous electorate was 67,512.

North East Somerset and Hanham (electorate 73,113)

North East Somerset is set to be completely transformed, with many of its current voters being reassigned to different constituencies and even part of South Gloucestershire being included in its new boundaries.

Only about half of North East Somerset will stay in the new North East Somerset and Hanham constituency, with Bathavon North rejoining Bath and much of the constituency — including Radstock and Midsomer Norton — becoming part of the new Frome and East Somerset constituency.

The loss of these areas will be balanced out by including the Bristol suburb of Hanham from across the Avon in South Gloucestershire within the constituency.

The dramatic changes were opposed by Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who has held the seat since it was created out of Wansdyke in 2010. When first proposed, he said the constituency was being "merrily chopped up."

The previous electorate was 73,932.

North Somerset (73, 963)

Yatton will be removed from the North Somerset constituency, under the Border Commission's proposals.

North Somerset constituency will remain mostly the same but with its size reduced as its southern boundary will now begin at the south edge of Clevedon and will cut Yatton and villages such as Claverham and Kingston Seymour, of the electoral area.

But the villages will not be joining the Weston-super-Mare constituency, which had been the southern neighbour of North Somerset, but instead will become part of the new Wells and Mendip Hills constituency.

Liam Fox has held the seat for the Conservatives since 1992, when the constituency was called Woodspring but followed largely the same boundaries.

The previous electorate was 80,869.

Weston-super-Mare (electorate 70,722)

The new boundaries will see the Weston-super-Mare constituency significantly truncated, no longer including anywhere east of the M5.

Although named for the seaside town, the constituency previously included villages all across the southern part of North Somerset, stretching as far as Blagdon. But now these will all fall within the new Wells and Mendip Hills constituency.

After narrowly losing the seat when he first contested it for the Conservatives in 2001, John Penrose has been MP for Weston-super-Mare since 2005.

The previous electorate was 83,417.
