For the 2023 Periodic 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 Derbyshire, with minor boundary changes to reflect changes to electoral wards within the county and to bring the electorates within the statutory range. These changes came into effect from the 2024 general election .
The following constituencies were proposed:
Containing electoral wards from Amber Valley Amber Valley Derbyshire Dales (part) Mid Derbyshire (part) Containing electoral wards from Bolsover Bolsover (part) Containing electoral wards from Chesterfield Chesterfield North East Derbyshire (part) Containing electoral wards from Derby Derby North Derby South Mid Derbyshire (part) Containing electoral wards from Derbyshire Dales Derbyshire Dales (part) Containing electoral wards from Erewash Erewash Mid Derbyshire (part) Containing electoral wards from High Peak High Peak Containing electoral wards from North East Derbyshire Bolsover (part) North East Derbyshire (part) Containing electoral wards from South Derbyshire Derbyshire Dales (part) South Derbyshire
