Turnout in Yorkshire in 2024's general election fell 10% compared to turnout in 2019. It was 55% compared to 65% in 2019. This was the lowest turnout for a general election recorded in the last 80 years.

Labour’s vote share in this election in our region was 42%, while the party polled 40% in 2019.

In terms of vote share, Labour did better in 2017 when led by Jeremy Corbyn when they polled 50% of vote share. These were the seats that Labour took from the Conservatives. York Outer in these Labour gains saw the biggest increase in vote share for the party at 15%.

Conservative vote share in the region was 23% - the lowest vote share recorded for the party since Winston Churchill was leader in 1950. However, the party did retain more seats than expected when compared to the MRP polling.

The main bright spot for the Conservatives was Robbie Moore in Keighley and Ilkley, who secured 40% of the vote in his constituency. These are Conservative holds.

Despite the exit poll predicting major gains for Reform UK, the party won no seats in Yorkshire. Vote share for the party was 16% across the region. It came second in 10 seats, polling best in Barnsley South at 33%.

The Greens had a fantastic night, coming second in six constituencies across the region and achieving 8% vote share in Yorkshire - their best ever result. They out-polled the Lib Dems who achieved 7% vote share.

The Lib Dems achieved their aim of winning Harrogate and Knaresborough, but fell well short of winning Sheffield Hallam, which was a target for the party.

The Independent candidate who won in Dewsbury was the surprise of the night. Iqbal Mohamed won 41% of the vote compared to Labour who achieved 22.9% of the vote. This is the first time an Independent candidate has won a seat in a general election in Yorkshire since 1907.

It was a good night for Independent candidates across Yorkshire. In 2019 Independent candidates polled 9,360 votes, but in 2024 they polled a combined total of 59,131 of votes.
