UK General Election 2024 Results: Election Process

UK elections are held in 650 constituencies to elect 650 MPs across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

These MPs are chosen based on a public vote. The candidate with the most votes wins the election and becomes an MP. This process of choosing the winner is called a “first past the post” system.

The party with the most MPs has a majority in parliament. To form a government, a party needs to win 326 of the 650 seats. A majority can be won by a single party or by a coalition of two or more parties.

When the required number of seats is reached, the monarch (currently King Charles III) invites the leader of the majority party to form a government.
