UK General Election results are not published as a consistent Darvel-only series. These figures cover the whole Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency, which contains Darvel.
Westminster elections use first past the post: the candidate with the most votes becomes the constituency’s MP. Smaller-party and independent candidates are grouped as Other so that the long-term pattern remains readable.
Scotland’s Westminster constituencies were redrawn before the 2005 election, and the boundaries were revised again before 2024. The constituency kept the same name, but comparisons across those changes are informative rather than perfectly like-for-like.
