Wales is currently divided into forty constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which elect Members of Parliament to the House of Commons. After the general election of December 2019, 22 of the Welsh constituencies are represented by Labour MPs, 14 by Conservative MPs, and 4 by Plaid Cymru MPs.[1]

On 28 June 2023, the boundary commission for Wales published its final recommendations for the new constituencies of Wales, reducing the number from 40 to 32,[2] with the commission first drawing up proposals in 2021.[3] As of June 2023, the same constituencies are used for elections to the Senedd, with the same boundaries used to make up the Senedd constituencies; however, proposed changes to Westminster constituencies are not automatically applied to Senedd ones, and there are proposals to increase the number of Senedd constituencies.
