May 1918 United Kingdom General Election

The May 1918 United Kingdom general election was held on Thursday 23 May 1918. It was called by Prime Minister David Lloyd George following the defection of many Members of the Liberal Party and Labour Party to call for an armistice with Germany. It resulted in a hung parliament.

It was the first general election to include on a single day all eligible voters of the United Kingdom, although the vote count was delayed until 28 December so that the ballots cast by soldiers serving overseas could be included in the tallies.
