British voters were invited to vote on Thursday in the third legislative elections in four and a half years. The main figures for these elections are as follows:

650

  • The number of seats contested in the British House of Commons, and this number includes 533 constituencies in England, 59 in Scotland, 40 in Wales and 18 in Northern Ireland.
  • The governors present candidates in 635 constituencies, compared to the main opposition Labor Party which has 631 candidates, and the liberal Democratic opposition party to Brexit which has 611 candidates.

70

  • The number of seats that moved from one party to another during the last elections held in June 2017, or about 11%.
  • This number decreased compared to the last polls, according to the Electoral Reform Foundation, which is working to reform the British electoral system.

3321

  • The full number of candidates running for elections, according to the Association of Electoral Officials.
  • Women make up only a third of the number of candidates, or 1124 women, according to the BBC.
  • 227 candidates apply independently without being associated with any Sassi party.

12

  • The largest number of candidates is in one constituency, which is the Oxford and South Roslip constituencies in which Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson is running.
  • The only constituency in which more than a dozen candidates compete.

5034

It is the number of votes Johnson obtains in his district, the lowest number of outgoing prime ministers since 1924. If he loses, he will be the first prime minister to lose in a legislative election.

More than 40 thousand

  • Number of polling stations throughout the country.
  • There is no exact number, but during the 2015 elections, the Association of Electoral Officials counted more than 40,100 polling stations.

326

  • Number of seats to obtain an absolute majority in Parliament.
  • In reality, however, the number is a little less: there are no fewer than four deputies who take on the role of Speaker of Parliament, and thus do not participate in the vote.
  • Whereas, any deputy elected from the Sinn Fein Northern Irish Republican Party does not traditionally participate in the work of the Council, because this party does not recognize the authority of the British Parliament over Northern Ireland.

317

  • The number of seats won by conservatives in 2017, making them the largest party in the country.

59

  • The number of seats that the "Unite to Stay" coalition in the European Union tries to win.
  • This cross-party alliance aims to win the largest possible number of seats held by representatives in favor of holding a second referendum on Brexit.
  • Under an agreement between the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, and the nationalists in Wales, candidates from each of these parties withdrew to maximize the chances of winning a pro-survival candidate in the European Union.
  • The Labor and the Scottish National Party (SNP) in favor of a new referendum chose not to join this alliance.

10

  • The number of candidates who are less than twenty years old.
  • The minimum age to run is 18 years.

500

  • The amount is in pounds sterling (594 Euros) which is supposed to be deposited against the candidacy.
  • Candidates who get more than 5% of the vote will get this amount.

8700

  • The maximum amount in pounds (10,300 euros) that a candidate can spend during a five-week official election campaign.
  • Another amount may be added according to the number of voters in the district in which he is running.
  • Parties can spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds.
