Our recommendations for new electoral and boundary arrangements.

Dates: 31 Aug 2021 - 31 Aug 2021

We review the electoral and boundary arrangements of councils to make sure they are fair. Our reviews include at least two rounds of public consultation before we make recommendations for change. 

We have carried out an electoral review of Bedford because the number of electors per councillor varies a lot across the council.

Effective date

The Bedford (Electoral Changes) Order 2022 was made on 14 March 2022.
