when is the next uk general election

The next United Kingdom general election is scheduled to be held no later than Wednesday, 15 August 2029. This election will determine the composition of the House of Commons and ultimately decide the government of the UK.

The most recent general election was held on 4 July 2024 following the dissolution of Parliament on 30 May 2024. The current Parliament thus has a maximum duration until August 2029 before the next election must take place.

Therefore, there is no UK general election scheduled before August 2029 unless the Prime Minister calls an earlier election. The fixed schedule means the upcoming general election will occur by mid-August 2029 at the latest.
