On 7 May 2019, the Cornwall (Electoral Changes) Order 2019 was laid in draft in Parliament.

The draft order, if made, would give effect to the final recommendations that were consulted on during the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s review of electoral arrangements in Cornwall and published on 4 December 2018.

The draft order will be laid in Parliament for a period of 40 sitting days. Parliament can either accept or reject our recommendations. If accepted, the new electoral arrangements will come into force at the next scheduled elections for Cornwall Council in May 2021.

The draft order can be viewed here.

On 4 December, we published final recommendations for future electoral arrangements in Cornwall Council.

We have now completed our electoral review of Cornwall.
