Campaigns in the seat have resulted in a minimum of 30% of votes at each election consistently for the same two parties' choice for candidate, and the next highest-placed share having fluctuated between 5.5% and 24% of the vote since its creation: for differing parties, the highest placed of these having been the UK Independence Party. The seat attracted seven candidates in 1997 and 2015 and four in 2001.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be expanded to include the Dudley Borough ward of Brockmoor and Pensnett from Dudley South. As this seat is disappearing, the revised Dudley North constituency will be renamed Dudley, to be first contested at the next general election.
