2016
In 2014, Tynwald approved recommendations from the Boundary Review Commission which saw the reform of the Island's electoral boundaries.
Under the new system, the Island was divided into 12 constituencies based on population, with each area represented by two members of the House of Keys.[3]
As a result, Peel's electoral boundaries were changed significantly to include the surrounding parishes of German and Patrick. These parishes had previously formed the constituency of Glenfaba.[4]
