List of electoral wards in Buckinghamshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of electoral divisions and wards in the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire in South East England. All changes since the re-organisation of local government following the passing of the Local Government Act 1972 are shown. The number of councillors elected for each electoral division or ward is shown in brackets.

Following The Local Government Boundary Commission for England review (2021 -2023),[1] the Buckinghamshire (Electoral Changes) Order 2023[2] came into effect.

This order covers the legislative electoral district of Buckinghamshire, and therefore applies to the legislative or administrative boundaries of Buckinghamshire.

Like many counties in England,[3] the broader ceremonial, historic or cultural boundaries of Buckinghamshire date back hundreds of years and may not necessarily coincide with more recent politically drawn boundaries.

Over time this drift can create significant paradoxical effects[4] whereby large population centres like Milton Keynes[5] are ceremonially a part of Buckinghamshire, but are administratively independent.
