See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

For the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England increased the number of seats in Oxfordshire from six to seven, due to the electorates of all six existing constituencies being above the maximum allowed quota. This resulted in the formation of the new constituency of Bicester and Woodstock. Wantage was renamed Didcot and Wantage, and Henley renamed Henley and Thame.[2][3]

The following constituencies resulted from the review:

Containing electoral wards from Cherwell

Containing electoral wards from Oxford

Containing electoral wards from South Oxfordshire

Containing electoral wards from Vale of White Horse

Containing electoral wards from West Oxfordshire
