Electoral registrations for parliamentary and local government elections as recorded in electoral registers for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Of the 3.85 million people who registered to vote in the United Kingdom between the 2019 general election announcement on October 29, 2019 and the registration cut-off date on November 26, 2019, over 1.4 million were under the age of 25. There is a clear correlation between the number of registrations and the displayed age groups, with older age groups progressively having fewer voter registrations

In the UK's general election of 2024 voter turnout was estimated to have been 60 percent, the lowest turnout since 2001, when it was 59.4 percent. Between 1922 and 1997 voter turnout never fell below 70 percent, but in 2001 it dropped to just 59.4 percent. Since that low point, voter turnout has gradually recovered and reached 72.2 percent in the Brexit Referendum of 2016, which is still some way off the peak of 83.9 percent recorded in the 1950 General Election. The trend of low voter turnouts in recent times is also reflected in the European elections, which had its lowest voter turnout in 2014 at 42.61 percent. Labour rides wave of discontent to power in 2024 Labour's victory in the 2024 general election was broadly anticipated, with Keir Starmer's party enjoying a comfortable lead in opinion polls from late 2021 onwards. This gap widened further during Liz Truss' short time as Prime Minister, following an acute economic crisis in late 2022 which saw her resign after just 44 days, and propel Rishi Sunak to power. Although Sunak restored a degree of stability after the reigns of his predecessors, Johnson and Truss, he ultimately failed to convince the public he could address the main issues facing the country. By the time of the election, Labour was seen as being more competent on the economy, immigration, and healthcare, the three major issues for voters on the eve of the election. Among prospective Labour voters, the main reason for almost half of people intending to vote for them was to "get the Tories out", compared with just five percent who agreed with their policies. A winter election in 2019 The irregular timing of the 2019 general election, which took place on December 12, 2019, was due to the political chaos caused by Brexit, and the failure of the UK to agree a deal to leave the European Union that year. The Conservatives won 365 seats in this election, achieving a large enough majority to get their Brexit deal approved in the House of Commons after three and a half years of political chaos. Although the Conservatives then led the polls throughout much of 2020 and 2021, their popularity proceeded to sink considerably, especially due to Boris Johnson's alleged involvement in a number of political scandals, particularly that of "partygate". Following an avalanche of resignations from his government, Johnson himself resigned on July 7, 2022, paving the way for Truss to succeed him a few months later

This statistic displays the number of citizens who were entitled to cast a vote during the EU referendum in the United Kingdom (UK) from June 23rd 2016, by region. The South East of England had approximately 6.5 million eligible voters. At almost 5.4 million people, London was the region with the second greatest number of eligible voters. Northern Ireland had the fewest, with just over 1.26 million eligible voters.

In the United Kingdom over 3.85 million people registered to vote in the time between the general election being called on October 29, 2019 and the latest possible date for registering to vote in this election on November 26, 2019. Evidently, many voters left it to the last minute to register, with over 659 thousand registrations taking place on the last day alone.

As of January 2025, the political party that 18 to 24 year-old's in Great Britain would be most likely to vote for was the Labour Party, at 36 percent, while among those over 65, the Conservative Party was the most popular with 35 percent intending to vote for them.

Total number of local government and parliamentary electors (including the number of attainers) registered to vote in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, 2014 and 2013.

This statistic shows the voter turnout in general elections held in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1918 to 2015. Along with the population growth, the voter turnout has been increasing during that time, with a net growth of roughly 20 million voters. The peak was recorded at general elections in 1992, with 33.61 million registered voters. In the two most recent general elections, voter turnout had been around 30 million.

The United Arab Emirates had a combined total of 5,091 electors, with two voting stations based in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

SUMMARY

The election results in summary format for 2000 to 2012 for:

• Constituencies only

• Wards, Boroughs and Constituencies

Note: In a few instances the electorate figure has been revised since the initial declared result. This has led to a small change in some turnout figures. The spreadsheets above all contain the correct revised figures.

The spreadsheet contains a summary of all the London elections results since 2000. This includes Mayoral, Assembly list and Constituency member election results. In the 2000 election, only data for constituencies was collected, so no borough or ward breakdowns are available for that year.

Data shown includes:

- the winner in each area (the candidate or party with most votes). This does not include second preference votes in the Mayoral election,

- the winning majority (the highest number of votes minus the second highest number of votes),

- the percentage turnout figure. (note for wards this is indicative only since all postal votes are registered to borough level only), and

- the percentage of votes for each of the major parties. Note that only parties with at least 5 per cent of the vote across London in at least one year of elections are shown. All other parties are aggregated into 'Other'.

In 2022 the Labour Party was estimated to have approximately 432,000 members, by far the most of any political party in the United Kingdom. The following three largest parties in terms of members were the Conservatives at 172,000, the Scottish National Party at 104,000, and the Liberal Democrats at 74,000. Smaller parties such as the Green Party had 54,000 members, and the Welsh Independence party; Plaid Cymru had 10,000 members. Labour Party also has largest number of followers on key social media sites. A 2024 general elections looms The next UK general election must take place by January 2025, with a Spring or Autumn 2024 election date likely. As of early 2024, the Labour Party is polling much higher than the Conservative party in a potential general election, and has enjoyed a large lead since late 2022. The collapse in support for the Conservative party corresponds with to their poor political performance that year, which saw the resignation of two Prime Ministers, Boris Johnson, and Liz Truss, the latter of which resigned after less than 50 days in the role. Although Truss' replacement, Rishi Sunak managed to restore a degree of stability to the UK government, his rating as Prime Minister has gradually sunk, along with the Conservatives prospects of reelection.

Labour locked out of power since 2010 While the Labour Party is in a good position to win the next election, it has also not been in power since 2010 and has struggled to oust successive Tory governments. Although polls suggested they might win in 2015, the result was actually a convincing win for the Conservatives. This was followed by the Brexit referendum in 2016, leading to a period of political chaos in the UK. A snap 2017 general election saw Labour increase their vote share enough to deny the Conservatives an overall majority but not win themselves. In the 2019 general election, Labour suffered its worst result since the 1930s, winning just 203 seats , 59 fewer than in 2017, and as a share of the vote, a drop of 7.8 percent.
