The Commission calculated that the number of seats to be allocated to the Eastern region will increase by 3, from 58 to 61. Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.
