39,312 pupils right across the country have cast a vote in the nationwide Mock Election campaign, giving many of them a first taste of civic participation and learning vital lessons about the way the UK's democratic processes work.

The results of the Mock Election are quite different from the picture that is emerging of the General Election:

• Labour: 10,340 (27.3%)

• Green: 8,714 (23.0%)

• Reform: 7,020 (18.6%)

• Lib Dem: 4,872 (12.9%)

• Conservative: 3,617 (9.6%)

• Scottish National Party (SNP): 310 (0.8%)*

• Plaid Cymru: 159 (0.4%)*

• Other: 2,788 (7.4%)**

• Spoilt Ballots: 1,492

*The SNP and Plaid Cymru results should be treated with caution. The timing of the school holidays in Scotland and Wales meant that only a few schools took part. ** Some schools required candidates to set up their own non-established parties. A portion of the vote for other parties therefore comes from schools where none of the main parties were fielding a candidate.
