UK-wide votes and seats (constituencies won) per party as published by the House of Commons Library (political-parties.csv for general election 6, 4 Jul 2024). All 13 parties that won seats are listed; no party without a seat had more than 1% of valid votes (the largest, Workers Party of Britain, 210,252, 0.7%), so the other 84 parties in the Library's table are left out. 'Labour' includes the 49 candidates standing jointly as Labour and Co-operative Party, as the Library counts them. The Library's party table excludes independents and the Speaker: the 'Independent' row (564,042 votes, 6 seats) is our sum of every candidate the Library marks as standing as independent in candidacies.csv, and the Speaker row is Lindsay Hoyle's vote in Chorley (25,238; general-elections/6/uncertified-candidacies). Check: all party rows in the Library table (28,220,060) plus independents plus the Speaker equal the 28,809,340 valid votes, and seats sum to 650. totalVotes = valid votes; ballots = valid + 116,253 invalid (rejected ballot papers); electorate 48,224,212, all as stated on general-elections/6. publishedAt is the day of the last declaration (6 Jul 2024); the Library's dataset was compiled later and is revised (record of dataset changes, CBP-10009).

    No national body proclaims a UK total: each of the 650 returning officers declares their constituency's result 'forthwith' once ascertained (RPA 1983 Sch. 1 r. 50) and returns the writ (r. 51); the result is complete with the last declaration. No statute sets a deadline, so expectedBy is an ESTIMATE: the end of Tue 9 Jul 2024 (BST), the day the new Parliament was summoned to meet (Commons Library parliament-periods: 'Summoned on 9 July 2024'). observedAt is the last declaration, Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire, from the returning officer's signed declaration: 'I, Derek Brown, Returning Officer for the Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire constituency declare that ... Angus MacDonald is duly elected as the Member of Parliament for the constituency. Time: 17:28 Date: Saturday 6 July 2024' (17:28 BST = 16:28 UTC). That this was the last of the 650 seats is from press (PA, via Express & Star, 6 Jul 2024: 'final General Election constituency count', after a recount); the Commons Library page general-elections/6/declaration-times says 'Declaration times are not available', so it was not confirmed against an official list of declaration times.
