There are - in theory - 650 votes to cast in the House of Commons. However:

  • the Speaker (1) and deputy speakers (3) (normally) do not vote;
  • the tellers (4) of the votes do not vote;
  • Sinn Fein MPs (7) do not take their seat and therefore do not vote.

Thus, 15 MPs do not vote, leaving a maximum, normally, of 635 votes.

  • 1 seat (Newport West) was vacant between 17/2/19 and 5/4/19.
