Gain or hold information and vote change percentages are calculated according to changes since the preceding general election and take no account of intervening by-elections. The calculations are based on changes to party performance, rather than the performance of an individual candidate. Where the boundary of a constituency has changed since the preceding general election, the calculations are based on estimated notional results for the new boundaries at the previous election.
Under section 13(b) of the Representation of the People Act 1985, a candidate gaining 5% or less of the vote share will forfeit their deposit.
This constituency of South Down was established by the 2024 boundary set for Northern Ireland. This election was the first held under that boundary set. Any holds, gains and vote change percentages as a result of this election are based on notional results, which estimate the outcome of the previous election had it been contested on the new boundaries.
