Constituency
The Mid Sussex Constituency is currently divided into 22 District Council Wards and 10 County Council Divisions.
The Electoral Commission is undertaking a boundary review of the existing areas covered by each constituency, so we anticipate a change in the coming months.

Both during and between election campaigns we collect and analyse views on local issues to help get Conservatives elected.
We organise regular canvassing sessions, survey deliveries and campaign days in which we rely on the support of supporters from all Wards. Can you help?
