Boundary changes will take effect at the next General Election. The name of the new constituency will be on your ballot paper, for example 'Sheffield Hillsborough' disappears and the constituents will be split between the new consituencies of 'Brightside and Hillsborough' and Penistone and Stocksbridge. This should not make any difference to where you vote.
