The population boom in Surrey has created a series of new electoral districts since the 1986 election:

The population boom in Surrey saw Surrey broken into three ridings for the 1986 election, Surrey-Newton, Surrey-Guildford-Whalley and Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale. Further growth has subdivided those ridings further into:

*Surrey-Newton
**Surrey-Panorama Ridge
**Surrey-Tynehead
*Surrey-Guildford-Whalley
**Surrey-Green Timbers
**Surrey-Whalley
*Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale
**Surrey-White Rock
**Surrey-Cloverdale
