Boundaries
Following a review of parliamentary representation in Devon by the Boundary Commission for England, which increased the number of seats in the county from 11 to 12, as of the 2010 general election the North Devon constituency has identical boundaries to the North Devon district. Prior to 2010, it covered a slightly larger area to the south, including some wards from the Mid Devon district.
