After a 2023 Boundary Commission review many of the constituencies in Yorkshire have undergone changes, with some disappearing all together.
As a result the majorities candidates held after the 2019 general election have been altered to reflect the majorities that would have been achieved in 2019 based on the 2024 boundaries.
Under the new calculations the following seats have the smallest majorities:
- Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley - 1,082
- Sheffield Hallam - 1,108
- Rawmarsh and Conisbrough - 1,257
- Doncaster Central - 1,271
- Halifax - 1,902

Here in Sheffield, six constituencies are being counted.

On the running track inside the English Institute of Sport, rows and rows of desks are filled with counters, diligently verifying the first votes.
This place is used to crowning winners, normally hosting athletics events, but tonight, it will see politicians climbing atop a podium on the finishing line becoming, possibly, a new MP.
Labour set for general election landslide - exit pollpublished at 22:12 British Summer Time 4 July
Labour is set to win a general election landslide with a majority of 170, according to an exit poll for the BBC, ITV and Sky.
If the forecast is accurate, it means Sir Keir Starmer will become prime minister with 410 Labour MPs – just short of Tony Blair's 1997 total.
The Conservatives are predicted to slump to 131 MPs, their lowest number in post-war history.
The Liberal Democrats are projected to come third with 61 MPs.
The Scottish National Party will see its number of MPs fall to 10 and Reform UK is forecast to get 13 MPs, according to the exit poll.
The Green Party of England and Wales is predicted to double its number of MPs to two and Plaid Cymru are set to get four MPs. Others are forecast to get 19 seats.
The exit poll, overseen by Sir John Curtice and a team of statisticians, is based on data from voters at about 130 polling stations in England, Scotland and Wales. The poll does not cover Northern Ireland.
At the past five general elections, the exit poll has been accurate to within a range of 1.5 and 7.5 seats.
