For the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to retain the eleven constituencies in Nottinghamshire, as detailed below, with minor boundary changes to reflect changes to electoral wards within the county and to bring the electorates within the statutory range. As Nottingham North now contains wards in the Borough of Broxtowe, it was renamed Nottingham North and Kimberley. Sherwood was renamed Sherwood Forest. These changes came into effect for the 2024 general election.

The following constituencies were proposed:

Containing electoral wards in Ashfield

Ashfield (part) Sherwood Forest (part)

Containing electoral wards in Bassetlaw

Newark (part) Bassetlaw

Containing electoral wards in Broxtowe

Broxtowe Nottingham North and Kimberley (part)

Containing electoral wards in Gedling

Gedling Sherwood Forest (part)

Containing electoral wards in Mansfield

Ashfield (part) Mansfield

Containing electoral wards in Newark and Sherwood

Newark (part) Sherwood Forest (part)

Containing electoral wards in Nottingham

Nottingham East Nottingham North and Kimberley (part) Nottingham South

Containing electoral wards in Rushcliffe

Newark (part) Rushcliffe

2010 In the Fifth Review the Boundary Commission for England recommended that Nottinghamshire retained its current constituencies, with changes only to reflect revisions to local authority ward boundaries and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies..
