The riding boundaries have been re-drawn for this election. Grande Prairie takes in most of the city, along with some rural areas to the west. GP-Wapiti now includes part of the east side of the city, as well as rural areas to the east, west, and south. What was left of the former GP Smoky constituency was folded into the former Dunvegan-Central Peace-Notley to form Central Peace-Notley.
