Members of the House of Commons, who are known as members of parliament (MP), are elected up to every five years. The UK is divided into constituencies of roughly the same number of voters, and those voters elect an MP to represent them. Elections are conducted under the first past the post voting system, under which the candidate with the highest number of votes is elected.

Members of the House of Lords, who are known as peers, are appointed by the monarch, on the advice of the government. The majority of peers are appointed for life, but 99 peers who hold inherited (or hereditary) titles are also entitled to sit in the House. When a vacancy arises among the hereditary peers, an election is held to replace them, although only hereditary peers are entitled to vote in those elections.
