The changes mean thousands will be in a new constituency when they go to the polls on 4 July.
The general election on 4 July will be fought in new constituencies, putting thousands of West Midlands voters in unfamiliar seats.
Overall, the West Midlands government region loses two constituencies, taking it from 59 to 57 seats in Parliament. For example, the new seat of West Bromwich joins together bits of three constituencies: The old West Bromwich East, West Bromwich West, as well as parts of Halesowen and Rowley Regis.Birmingham keeps five seats, but with rejigged boundaries and based around Edgbaston, Ladywood, Northfield, Yardley and Sutton Coldfield.
And two seats take in parts of Solihull, the east of the borough paired with Meriden, and the west with Shirley.Because the Black Country was paired in a sub-region with Staffordshire for the allocation, two seats cross the boundary between them to even out the populations.
