Parliamentary constituencies in Surrey

The ceremonial county of Surrey is divided into 11 parliamentary constituencies which are wholly within the county boundaries. In addition, there are two constituencies which cross the county boundary - one with Hampshire (Farnham and Bordon) and one with Berkshire (Windsor). These thirteen seats are sub-classified into three of borough type and ten of county status, affecting the level of expenses permitted and the status of the returning officer.

Surrey residents comprise a majority of the Farnham and Bordon constituency, with Hampshire residents in the minority. However, in the Windsor constituency Surrey residents comprise only a small minority, with the overwhelming majority being Berkshire residents. One might therefore say that there are effectively 12 ‘Surrey constituencies’ in all - 11 seats that are wholly in Surrey, plus the Farnham and Bordon constituency where Surrey residents are in the majority, where the Surrey town of Farnham is the main town within the seat, and where Surrey constitutes the majority of the land area of the seat.

The county saw the vast bulk of its population and seats removed on the creation of the County of London in 1889 and its wider replacement by the county of Greater London in 1965.

Reflecting its mainly suburban and rural nature, all seats covering the present definition of Surrey have been held by Conservative MPs at each general election since 1885, with the exception of three Liberals in 1906, one Liberal Democrat in 2001, and six Liberal Democrats in 2024.
