A general election is used to vote for Members of Parliament (MP) to represent all areas of the UK in the House of Commons, at the UK Parliament in Westminster, London.

There are currently six parliamentary constituencies within the North Yorkshire Council area:
The local MPs representing those areas can be found on the local MP's page.
The last general election was held on 12 December 2019.
The next UK Parliamentary election must be held by 28 January 2025.
The constituency boundaries will change at the next Parliamentary election due to changes approved by Parliament. Details can be found on the UK Parliament website.
