For the UK Parliamentary election, the country is divided into electoral areas called constituencies. Each constituency has its own MP. Constituency boundaries in the UK have changed – a new set of boundaries for Westminster constituencies will be used at the 2024 UK general election. The South Kesteven area is made up of three Parliamentary Constituencies:
- Grantham and Bourne Constituency
- Rutland and Stamford Constituency
- South Holland and the Deepings Constituency
Details of which areas of South Kesteven fall within which constituency can be viewed here.
The Acting Returning Officer of South Kesteven District Council is responsible for the election for the Grantham and Bourne Constituency.
The Rutland and Stamford Constituency is managed by Rutland County Council and further information can be found on their website General election 2024 | Rutland County Council.
The South Holland and the Deepings Constituency is organised by South Holland District Council and further information can be found on their website Parliamentary Elections – South Holland District Council (sholland.gov.uk).
