Subject to major boundary changes - including the combination of the western part of the seat, including the towns of Farnham and Haslemere and comprising the majority of the electorate, with parts of the District of East Hampshire - it will be reformed as Farnham and Bordon, to be first contested at the 2024 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]
