General Election Results
Every UK general election from 1918 to 2024. Historical constituency data is sourced from the House of Commons Library; recent elections link to Parliament’s verified election-results service.
Source and coverage
Results use the House of Commons Library's historical national series, detailed constituency data for 2010-2019 and verified candidate returns for 2024. Historical party groups can combine allied candidates; the 1931 and 1935 leading groups include National Government allies. The individual election pages explain coverage and show votes, UK vote shares, seats and comparisons.
Seat majorities use the governing party or coalition's seat total minus all remaining Commons seats. They are not working majorities and may differ from historical figures that treat the Speaker differently.

Constituency boundaries changed after several reviews, including changes affecting elections in 1945, 1950, 1955, 1974, 1983, 1997, 2005/2010 and 2024. The Commons Library dataset identifies historical boundary sets to help distinguish comparable periods.
Each election now has its own UK Decides results page, with links to the underlying parliamentary or Commons Library source data for further detail.
