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 and charts. 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.

This paper will be updated soon with further analysis in the PDF briefing.
