The ceremonial county of Staffordshire (which includes the area of the Stoke-on-Trent unitary authority) is divided into 12 seats - 2 borough and 10 county constituencies, one of which includes part of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley.
At the 2024 general election, nine of the seats were won by Labour and three by the Conservatives.
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 combine Staffordshire with the Black Country as a sub-region of the West Midlands Region, resulting in the creation of a new cross-county boundary constituency named Kingswinford and South Staffordshire, which included part of the abolished constituency of South Staffordshire; remaining areas of this seat were combined with parts of the abolished constituency of Stone to form Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge.
