What time is my constituency result expected at General Election 2024?

The first general election result in Wales is expected to be announced from 2am with more following throughout the early hours of Friday. News agency the Press Association has estimated the times of results from all 650 UK constituencies, including the 32 seats in Wales.

It shows results expected from 2am in the Vale of Glamorgan and Swansea West. There is no exact science about what times results will come and if recounts take place or there are administrative hiccups they can be much later, but the news agency Press Association has compiled a list of estimated result times.

We'll have reporters at counts across Wales bringing you all the results as they come tonight and all the analysis throughout the night and beyond.

The key moments of the night:

11PM

The race to be the first to declare will be won and lost in the North East.

Both Blyth and Ashington and Houghton and Sunderland South are expected to unveil their results within two hours after polls close. They're both expected to be held by Labour - but could give an idea of how well Reform have performed in the north.

MIDNIGHT

Swindon South is likely to be the first battleground seat to deliver a result around 12.15am on Friday - and the first real result showing the swing to Labour. Former Justice Secretary Robert Buckland is defending a 5,650 majority - a healthy lead in normal times. But if the predicted national swing is borne out, Labour's Heidi Alexander will easily take the seat and give an early pointer for the rest of the night.

For those seeking comedy value, Tory chairman Richard Holden should find out about the same time whether he's won in Basildon and Billericay. Mr Holden didn't so much parachute himself into the seat, as bulldoze his way in - with party officials imposing him as the candidate just two days before the deadline for nominations. He's defending a 20,749 majority - but polls suggest it's not as safe as it looks.

And Broxbourne in Hertfordshire is also due at 12.15am - a Tory heartland seat that will give an idea of how much support the party have lost from their traditional core voters.

1AM

Between 1am and 2am we'll get an idea of how well Labour have done in loosening the SNP 's grip on Scotland.

East Kilbride and Strathaven, Hamilton and Clyde Valley and Rutherglen are all SNP-held Labour target seats - and are all expected to declare before 2am.

2AM

The results really start to roll - with one seat a minute expected to declare in the 2 o'clock hour.

Reform UK aren't expected to overturn Tory Rebecca Harris' majority of 26,000 in Castle Point - but the size of the chunk they take out of it will give some insight into how they've done across the country.

Rochdale, where George Galloway won in a by-election just months ago, should declare around 2.30am. He's up against Paul Waugh, the former journalist standing for Labour. Whoever wins, the speeches will be spicy.

And the Lib Dems will see signs of how their night is going, with the result of one of their long-shots - Stratford-upon-Avon, where they're bidding to take the seat previously held by former Tory chancellor Nadhim Zahawi.

3AM

If you're still up between 3 and 4am, you'll be treated to the biggest glut of results in the night. As many as 250 seats will declare results in this hour - including some big hitters.

The battle for Islington North will reach its climax around 3am - when we'll learn whether Jeremy Corbyn will stay an independent MP, or his 41-year run as an MP has come to an end.

Keir Starmer's seat of Holborn and St Pancras is also likely to come in around 3am. It's a very safe seat - with a majority of 22,766 - so don't expect a surprise upset, but his speech will likely be the first time we hear the Labour leader speak after the exit poll.

Labour will also be watching for results from some "red wall" constituencies - including the newly redrawn seat of Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes, where former MP Melanie Onn is hoping for a return to the Commons.

And Thangham Debbonaire, who is up against Green candidate Carla Denyer in her seat of Bristol West, will learn whether she'll be back in the Commons at around 3.15am

On the Tory side of things, there are a string of potential 'Portillo moments' due in this hour.

Justice Secretary Alex Chalk's Cheltenham seat is due around 3am, where he's vulnerable to the Lib Dems.

Tory former welfare slasher Iain Duncan Smith 's seat of Chingford and Woodford Green is also due around this time - and a swing of just 1.5 points to Labour would see him ousted. But independent candidate Faiza Shaheen - Labour's candidate until she was removed just days before the deadline for the election - has strong local support and could split Labour's vote.

Top Tories Grant Shapps, Penny Mordaunt and Gillian Keegan should also learn their fates after 3am - and all of them are at risk of losing their seats.

But the biggest Tory scalp this hour would be Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor. He's defending a majority of 10,720 - but has been heavily targeted by the Lib Dems.

Speaking of the Lib Dems - we'll know whether all those bungee jumps and wetsuits were enough for Ed Davey to hold his Kingston and Surbiton seat at around 3.15am.

4AM

We should already know by 4am who has won the election - and by how much.

But this hour will show us just how bad a night it's been for the Tories.

There'll be a string of seats where Reform are hoping to make gains from the Conservatives - including former party leader Richard Tice in Bolton and Skegness and ex-Tory defector Lee Anderson in Ashfield.

And, of course, Nigel Farage will learn whether his eighth bid at becoming an MP has been successful - as the result from Clacton rolls in.

Elsewhere, we could see another blast from the past - as Douglas Alexander, a cabinet minister in the New Labour years, learns whether he'll return as MP for Lothian East - Labour's top target seat in Scotland.

The Greens will find out if they've held on to Brighton Pavilion, where former leader Sian Berry is up against Labour's Tom Gray - who used to be the singer in post-Britpop band Gomez.

On the subject of Britpop, Blur drummer Dave Rowntree will learn whether he's managed to win for Labour in Mid Sussex.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, whose lead in the new seat of Somerset North East and Hanham has looked fragile in recent polling, will learn his fate around 4am.

And finally, Rishi Sunak's Richmond and Northallerton constituency in North Yorkshire should declare around this time. Despite defending a notional majority of 24,331, some polls have suggested he'll be the first sitting PM to ever lose his seat.

5AM

Things start to slow down around 5am, but there are still some big moments ahead.

Northampton North, a bellweather - matching the result at every election since 1974 - will declare in this hour.

Liz Truss will find out if she's won Norfolk South West around 5.30am. Polling suggests she'll hold on, but Labour need a swing of just 5.9% to oust her.

And around the same time Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner will find out the result in her seat of Ashton-under-Lyne in Greater Manchester.

6AM

The last few will come in around 6, with Wes Streeting, the Shadow Health Secretary learning the result in Ilford North and Keir Mather, the youngest MP, finding out if he'll return as the MP for Selby.

7AM

Recounts could cause delays, but if you're still up - or just waking up - at 7am, there's a good chance you'll know the results of all 650 seats.

So it's either time to go to bed, or push through until mid-morning when we're likely to see a range of victory speeches, concession speeches - and maybe a few resignations.
