Chelmsford will be a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It will elect one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
A large element of this seat is a successor to the existing seat of Maldon and East Chelmsford.
Following their review of parliamentary representation in Essex, the Boundary Commission for England have created a new Chelmsford constituency, separating the current link of Maldon with elements of Chelmsford.
The new constituency of Maldon uses six electoral wards from the district of Chelmsford.
