Voters in Castle Point have gone to the ballot box in the general election 2024.

A new Member of Parliament is being elected for the Essex constituency which includes the Castle Point borough covering the Canvey Island at the seaside end of the Thames Estuary plus parts of the adjoining mainland.

Ahead of the election, the MP for the area was Conservative Rebecca Harris.

The shock summer general election was called by Rishi Sunak on May 22, with elections taking place in all 650 seats across the UK. Since the 2019 general election major boundary changes affecting 90% of Parliamentary constituencies have come into force.

Ahead of the election, a Conservative government had been in power in Parliament since 2010.

Polls closed in the general election 2024 at 10pm on Thursday, July 4, with counts taking place overnight. Results from across the UK are expected in the early hours of Friday morning.

You can see all the results for the constituency as they are announced in Castle Point and the UK, in the interactive widget and map below which will update once the count has been declared. Find out who won the seat and how many votes each candidate received.

Every Tory MP is to blame for this defeat – myself included
Who’s to blame? All of us – every Conservative MP in the last Parliament – has a share of the blame for this defeat. For my part, I made life harder for my Party by calling publicly for tougher policy on migration and defence, and so made negative headlines about Tory splits and factions.

Boris Johnson blames 'Pied Piper' Nigel Farage for role in 'destruction' of Tories
Boris Johnson says Nigel Farage played a "significant" role in the "destruction" of the Tories – while taking a swipe at those who ousted him from Number 10 back in 2022. Reform UK have secured five seats in the House of Commons including one for its leader Mr Farage, who succeeded in being elected in Clacton, Essex. Former prime minister Mr Johnson has dissected his party's performance in his Daily Mail column, saying the reasons why the Tories lost so many MPs were "complex" - but "the Yucatan asteroid in this catastrophe was obvious: it was Reform".

Will the Starmers be the first prime ministerial family since the Wilsons not to live in Downing Street?
The move to Downing Street is a symbolic moment for any incoming prime minister, the most obvious proof of your drastically changed situation. You do not merely run the shop, as Mrs Thatcher said, you live above it. Downing Street is one of the most prestigious political residences on Earth, perhaps second only to the White House. For five years, barring calamity, it is yours, for you to decorate with all the golden Lulu Lytle wallpaper you like.

Suella Braverman says 'idiotic strategy' led Conservatives to worst-ever election defeat
Suella Braverman has issued a scathing verdict as to why the Conservatives lost the election, blaming Rishi Sunak for pursuing an "idiotic strategy" that treated voters like "mugs". In an intervention that will be seen as her teeing up a potential leadership bid, the former home secretary said her party "failed in office and deserved this result". The former home secretary - who retained her seat of Fareham and Waterlooville but with a much-reduced majority - blamed "high taxes" and "high immigration" as well as "insane political correctness" she believed the party had embraced for the scale of the defeat.

British Jews have reason to be frightened. This time it’s not Labour
On October 8, as the world was beginning to comprehend what had just happened in southern Israel, most decent people – including many who would go on to decry Israel’s retaliatory campaign – expressed genuine horror at what Gaza’s Islamist barbarians had done. But a substantial minority was openly cheering. Not just in Turkey and Iran, but in Toronto and London.

Starmer’s great weakness is being revealed
Keir Starmer campaigned as changed Labour, and now he will govern as New Labour. It’s not difficult to imagine the consternation felt by Starmer’s critics on the Left at the news that some of the big beasts from the eras of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are making a comeback. Most significant is the return of Alan Milburn, Blair’s health secretary, who will advise his successor, Wes Streeting, on reform of the NHS.

Labour is doomed unless it acts fast on migration and the NHS
You can point to Rishi Sunak’s poor leadership, you can talk about the Tories’ endless pointless errors. However, fundamentally, the Conservatives were ejected from office because NHS waiting lists were too long, the economy was weak, and immigration was uncontrolled.
