The Fareham (Electoral Changes) Order 2023 was made on 14 July 2023, at which point the recommendations in the order became law. The new warding arrangements were implemented with effect from May 2024, with all-out elections being held to elect to all 32 seats.
Please note that this review relates to the arrangements for local government elections only.
