Background

In 2023, The Local Government Boundary Commission for England made the Wolverhampton (Electoral Changes) Order 2023, effectively abolishing all 20 wards of the city council and replaced them with wards that have newly drawn boundaries.[2] The number of wards and councillors remains the same as the previous election.
