The UK general election takes place on 4 July. You will be able to vote for the person who goes to represent your area in the House of Commons.

Big changes have been made to the political map since 2019. Boundaries have changed and many constituencies will be new or different from the last general election for millions of people.

You can use our lookup to find out which constituency you are in, who is standing as a candidate in your area and to which polling station you can go to vote.

There are 650 constituencies across the UK and each returns one MP to the House of Commons in Parliament in Westminster. In England there are 543; 57 in Scotland; 32 in Wales and 18 in Northern Ireland.

Your vote decides who becomes the local MP and which party wins the UK's general election overall.

The vast majority of adults will be able to vote in this election. If you are over 18 and are not registered you have until 23:59 on Tuesday 18 June to register to vote. You will also need ID to vote.
