- Source: List of parliamentary constituencies in Herefordshire and Worcestershire
There are 8 Parliamentary constituencies in the ceremonial counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. From 1974 to 1998 the two counties were administratively and ceremonially one, called Hereford and Worcester, and the constituencies crossed the traditional county boundaries. This continued to be the case up to and including the 2005 general election, but since the 2010 general election two constituencies fall entirely within Herefordshire and six within Worcestershire. There are 2 borough constituencies and 6 county constituencies.

2010 boundary changes
Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain 8 constituencies covering the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire for the 2010 election, making minor changes to take account of the separation of the two counties, to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. The constituencies of Hereford and Leominster were renamed Hereford and South Herefordshire, and North Herefordshire respectively.
Proposed boundary changes
See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.
Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021. Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.
The commission has proposed retaining the current two constituencies in Herefordshire, with minor boundary changes to reflect changes to ward boundaries. In Worcestershire, it is proposed to make a small transfer from Mid Worcestershire to Redditch to bring these two constituencies within the statutory range. It is proposed that Mid Worcestershire is renamed Droitwich and Evesham. The other four constituencies would be unchanged.
