As a result of The Parliamentary Constituencies (England) order 2007 (SI 2007 No 1681) there has been a redistribution of Parliamentary seats. This has resulted in the re defining of the existing Braintree Constituency and the creation of a new Parliamentary Constituency for Witham.

The Chief Executive Officer for the Braintree District Council, Allan Reid, has been appointed as Acting Returning Officer for both Constituencies and therefore has overall responsibility for the conduct of the Elections for the 2 parliamentary constituencies for Braintree and Witham.
