Electoral Statistics are published annually by the Office for National Statistics and can be found at www.ons.gov.uk.

The Electoral Commission publishes data on the registers used for the UK Parliamentary elections in 2010 and 2015, which is available online.

The published ONS data based on the 2011 Census does not provide a constituency breakdown by age or nationality.

Boundary reviews are conducted by each of the four independent UK Boundary Commissions, in line with the rules set out in the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, and the next boundary review is due to be completed by October 2018.
