Due to changes to constituency layouts by the Boundary Commision, four of Salford City Councils wards are now included in two other parliamentary constituencies:

  • Kersal and Broughton Park are now under the jurisdiction of Bury South constituency
  • Little Hulton, Walkden North and Walkden South are under the jurisdiction of the Bolton South and Walkden constituency. 

The verification, count and declaration for these constituencies is facilitated by Bury and Bolton councils respectively.
