Labour won a majority in the 2024 general election. This publication provides data on MPs elected and the number of votes received by every candidate and party.

This page contains constituency-level and candidate-level vote counts in data files, as a well as a PDF providing analysis, charts, and visualisations. The data is based on verified official declarations from each local authority.

We constantly review the dataset to ensure it is as accurate as possible. We have made a small number of corrections, which are recorded in the “Record of dataset changes” file above.

The paper was updated in September 2024 with 66 pages of new analysis.

300 MPs were re-elected, while 335 successful candidates are becoming MPs for the first time. 15 are becoming MPs again after a gap in service (that is, they have been MPs at some point in the past, but were not MPs at the time of the May 2024 dissolution).

387 of those elected are men (59.5%) and 263 are women (40.5% – a record high).
