The next general election in the United Kingdom is scheduled to be held on Thursday 7 May 2020, in line with the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011; it may be held at an earlier date in the event of a vote of no confidence or other exceptional circumstances. It will elect the 57th Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is scheduled to be the first general election since 1970 to be held with the United Kingdom outside the European Union under the proposed exit timetable.

In general elections in the United Kingdom, voting takes place in single member constituencies to elect Members of Parliament (MPs) to seats in the House of Commons, the lower house of the Parliament. There are 650 constituencies represented in the House, but it is proposed that this number will be reduced to 600 for the next general election. The leader of the party or coalition of parties that can command a majority will become the Prime Minister.

All major parties, except the Scottish National Party (SNP), Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), Sinn Féin and Plaid Cymru, will contest this election with different leaders from 2015. Conservative leader and Prime Minister David Cameron resigned, after the outcome of the EU Referendum differed from his personal stance, and was replaced by Theresa May. Labour leader and Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband resigned after losing the 2015 General Election, as did Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg.
