Next UK Parliament election
Section 4 of the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022 says: if it has not been dissolved earlier, a Parliament dissolves at the beginning of the day that is the fifth anniversary of the day on which it first met. The Electoral Commission page read on 17 October 2026, last updated 9 April 2025, lists “No later than 15 August 2029” against “UK Parliament”.
Gap. The day the current Parliament first met is not printed in section 4 or in that Electoral Commission table. This page does not supply it.

The same response records one member whose latest party is “Speaker”: Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, constituency Chorley, with a membership status start of 4 July 2024. It records Rt Hon Andy Burnham, constituency Makerfield, latest party “Labour (Co-op)”, membership status start 18 June 2026.

Prime Minister
The GOV.UK role page says the current role holder is The Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP, and that the Prime Minister is the leader of His Majesty’s Government. His people page says Andy Burnham became Prime Minister on 20 July 2026, returned to Parliament as Member of Parliament for Makerfield in June 2026, and was elected Leader of the Labour Party on 16 July 2026. The people page for The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC MP says he was Prime Minister from 5 July 2024 to 20 July 2026.
Gap. Candidate lists for a future UK Parliament election are not on this page. No proclamation of a polling day was in the sources read on 17 October 2026. Constituency pages are not in this release.
Population
The ONS mid-2024 bulletin, released 26 September 2025, says the UK population reached an estimated 69,281,400 in the year to mid-2024, an increase of 755,300 (1.1%) from mid-2023. It says the population grew faster in England (1.2%) than in Scotland (0.7%), Wales (0.6%) or Northern Ireland (0.4%). The bulletin text that was read does not print a separate headcount for each country.
Other elections in the same schedule
The same Electoral Commission table lists May 2026 for the Scottish Parliament, the Senedd, English local government (including London boroughs), combined-authority mayoral elections and local mayoral elections. A separate Electoral Commission page sets polling day for those 2026 elections on Thursday 7 May 2026. The table lists May 2027 for English local government, local mayoral elections, Scottish council elections, Welsh local government, the Northern Ireland Assembly and Northern Ireland local government. It lists May 2028 for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly, and for Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales.
This page does not turn “May 2027” into a calendar day. The table does not print one.
