People went to the polls to decide who would represent them as an MP in the UK Parliament.

A total of 57 seats were up for grabs in Scotland from 650 across the UK.

Yet the boundaries of the constituencies have changed since the last election which brought the number of seats in Scotland down by two.

MPs were elected using a first-past-the-post electoral system with voters only casting one vote. The candidate with the majority of votes won.

This page tracked the 2024 general election results live after the polls closed.
