Our how to vote page has information about photo identification requirements, what to expect at your polling station and how to cast your vote.
A general election is used to vote for Members of Parliament (MP) to represent all areas of the UK in the House of Commons, at the UK Parliament in Westminster, London.
The UK is split into constituencies, and each constituency votes for an MP to represent them, using the first past the post system.
The next UK Parliamentary election will be held on 4 July 2024.
