On July 4, Britons will cast their votes to determine the next party to lead the country, following Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s announcement of snap elections in May. Predictions indicate a potential Labour majority after 14 years of Conservative leadership.
With a population of around 67 million and the sixth-largest global economy, the United Kingdom’s election day will see polling stations open from 7 am to 10 pm local time.
The voting system involves the first-past-the-post method in 650 constituencies to elect members of Parliament. A party must secure at least 326 seats for a majority and the opportunity to form a government.
Key issues leading up to the election include the economy, healthcare, immigration, housing, and the environment. Stay informed on the latest updates and make your voice heard on election day!
