The 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies concluded that the electoral wards of Pinhoe, St Loyes and Topsham (which incorporates part of the Countess Wear area) would move into the new constituency of Exmouth and Exeter East.[2]
The constituency has been held by Labour since 1997.
The Labour Party currently has a majority of over 10,000, suggesting this is a safe seat for the party.

The constituency covers the majority of the city, including the University and the Met Office which are significant employers.[3] As of 2022[update], median gross weekly in pay for full-time workers is below the figure for Great Britain as a whole but above that for South West England. Median hourly pay, however, is below that for both the region and for Great Britain. There are a large number of students for a small city.[4]
The constituency covers most of the city of Exeter in Devon. It covered the entire city from 1918 until 2010, when, under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which increased the number of seats in the county from 11 to 12, two wards of the City of Exeter (St Loyes and Topsham) were transferred to the neighbouring East Devon constituency.[5]

Upon petition, this election was subject to a recount due to the closeness of the results. On the first count, St. Maur led with 4,786 votes to Duke's 4,782. On a second count, St. Maur again led with 4,782 votes to Duke's 4,778. Closer scrutiny led to the above count, allowing Duke to retain the seat.
