About this election
How the vote works
The 650 members of the House of Commons were again elected by first-past-the-post in single-member constituencies. Johnson had to suspend the Fixed-term Parliaments Act through a special one-off bill to trigger the early election, after repeatedly failing to secure the two-thirds majority the Act otherwise required.
