At the 2010 general election, the constituency ofHoughtonand Sunderland South was the first constituency to declare a result. Prior to this, the now-abolished constituency of Sunderland South (an old constituency from which the new one was largely made) had been first to declare in 2005, 2001, 1997 and 1992.

As the 2015 general election boundaries will be the same as the ones used in 2010 following the Coalition's postponement of the planned boundary review until 2018, it is highly likely Sunderland South will again be first to declare. All three Sunderland seats traditionally declare very early; usually within two hours of polls closing, before meaningful results begin to trickle in.


The most recent constituency other than Sunderland South to declare first was Torbay, at the 1987 general election. By 1997, Torbay had slipped considerably, being the 243rd seat to declare that year.
