Ely and East Cambridgeshire is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. It has been represented since its creation in 2024 by Charlotte Cane of the Liberal Democrats.
Boundaries
The constituency was created by the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and was first contested at the 2024 general election. It is composed of the following:
- The District of East Cambridgeshire
- The District of South Cambridgeshire wards of Cottenham, and Milton & Waterbeach.
The bulk of the electorate, including the city of Ely and the town of Soham, was derived from about two-thirds of the abolished constituency of South East Cambridgeshire, with the addition of areas from North East Cambridgeshire (Littleport, Sutton-in-the-Isle and Downham Villages) and South Cambridgeshire (Cottenham).
