Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency will be subject to major boundary changes. The western part of the seat, including the towns of Farnham and Haslemere and comprising the majority of the electorate, will be combined with parts of the District of East Hampshire, including the town of Bordon. As a consequence, it will be renamed Farnham and Bordon, to be first contested at the next general election. Godalming and the area of the North Downs to the south will be included in the newly created constituency of Godalming and Ash.[2]
