Just over 50 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots in the United Kingdom’s general election, marking the lowest turnout since universal suffrage was introduced in 1928, according to a recent report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). The report stated that 52 percent of adults participated in the July 4 election, the lowest turnout since the voting age was lowered to 21. It revealed that constituencies with a higher proportion of Muslims experienced a 10 percent lower voter turnout. The Israel-Gaza conflict emerged as a significant issue in the 2024 general election, particularly affecting voters along religious lines. Analysis showed that areas with a third of the population being Muslim had a turnout rate of 51 percent, contrasting with 61 percent in regions with a smaller Muslim population. These figures dropped to 39 percent and 55 percent, respectively, when considering turnout among the voting age population rather than registered voters. The Labour Party, under the leadership of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, secured a significant victory in the election, claiming the second-largest majority in British history. However, the party's stance on not supporting an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict led to Muslim voters turning to independent candidates, including five pro-Palestine representatives like Jeremy Corbyn. Comparing the turnout figures to the 2001 general election, which also had low participation, the IPPR highlighted that constituencies with higher proportions of ethnic minority residents witnessed a 7 percent lower turnout. On the other hand, regions with more elderly, homeowner, and white populations recorded higher engagement. The report suggested a disparity in how governments address the needs of older and wealthier citizens over young, economically disadvantaged, and minority communities. It called for the new government to break the cycle between political involvement and policy responsiveness, offering a chance to address democratic challenges and inequities.
