changes to local authority wards. In 2021 the Boundary Commission for England proposed boundary changes to the Wantage constituency in order to reduce the number of electorate in the constituency. At the time of the 2019 General Election, Wantage's total electorate was 90,845, making it the largest constituency in Oxfordshire and the 13th largest in the United Kingdom. The proposals would see the total electorate reduced to 71,460 which is significantly closer to the average electorate of 72,200 for constituencies in England. The commission proposed the renaming of the Wantage constituency to 'Didcot and Wantage'. The proposed boundary changes would see the wards of Faringdon, Kingston Bagpuize, Stanford in the Vale, Watchfield and Shrivenham move into the Witney constituency, whilst the newly renamed Didcot and Wantage constituency would absorb the wards of Clifton Hampden, Culham, Nuneham Courtenay and Sandford-on-Thames from the Henley constituency.
