In October 2025, the Boundaries Commission was considering creating new constituencies by dividing the existing
West Grand Bahama and Bimini seat, citing the size of the electorate and Bimini's population growth. The combined West Grand Bahama and Bimini constituency had been criticised by residents for pairing islands with different priorities. In its report dated 29 December 2025, the Constituencies Commission said the new seat was formed from areas that had previously been part of the West Grand Bahama and Bimini constituency and the
North Andros and Berry Islands constituency. The report also said that no public consultations or meetings were held during the commission's work. On 8 January 2026, the commission's report was tabled in Parliament, confirming the creation of a separate Bimini and Berry Islands seat and increasing the number of constituencies from 39 to 41. The report's annexes specified that the Berry Islands would be transferred from the North Andros and the Berry Islands constituency and that Polling Divisions 8, 9, 10 and 11 would be moved from the West Grand Bahama and Bimini constituency into the new seat. The new boundaries were formalised in the
House of Assembly Revision of Boundaries and Re-distribution of Seats Order, 2026 (S.I. No. 5 of 2026), which came into force on 16 January 2026 and applies from the next general election. The order also provides that it does not affect any election until a proclamation is made appointing the date for the next general election. == Geography ==
