Reform Act boundary report

Reports from Commissioners on Proposed Division of Counties and Boundaries of Boroughs, printed by order of the House of Commons, forms part of the official documentation produced in the lead-up to the Reform Act of 1832. Commonly referred to as the Reform Act Boundary Reports, this volume contains detailed assessments and proposals for the redrawing of parliamentary borough and county boundaries across England and Wales. Prepared by appointed commissioners, the report includes textual descriptions, plans, and maps outlining the rationale for the revised constituencies, aiming to address widespread electoral imbalances such as rotten boroughs and underrepresented urban centres. It was a foundational document in the effort to modernise Britain's electoral geography and remains a key historical resource for the study of political reform and 19th-century administrative mapping.
