General Election timings: Here’s when you will know who’s won and where

The United Kingdom will hold its first national election in almost five years on Thursday, with opinion polls suggesting that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party will be punished for failing to deliver on promises made during 14 years in power.

The Labour Party is far ahead in most opinion polls after focusing its campaign on a single word: Change. But what time will you see if there is a change in government?

Here is a list of estimated declaration times for the results of the 2024 General Election.

The list is based on information compiled by the PA news agency and is intended to be a guide to when the 650 constituency results are likely to be declared.

All timings are approximate and can be affected by issues such as delays in verifying and counting ballots, or by recounts.

There have been substantial boundary changes at this election and this means there is considerable uncertainty around some of timings below.
