The United Kingdom's component of the 2019 European Parliament election was held on Thursday 23 May 2019 and the local results were to be announced after 22:00 BST on Sunday 26 May 2019 when all the other EU countries had voted although the counting of votes started at 18:00 BST on that evening. The nine English regions and Wales announced their regional results overnight. Local results were also announced overnight in all Scottish council areas with the single exception of Na h-Eileanan Siar (Western Isles), which did not count their votes until the following morning due to local opposition to counting on the Sabbath. Thus the Scottish national declaration did not take place until around lunchtime on Monday 27 May. Northern Ireland also did not start to count their votes until the Monday morning as votes are by tradition not counted here on Sunday either, as a religious observance. Furthermore, due to the use of the single transferable vote (STV), it was expected that counting could take up to two days, but in the event it was completed on 27 May.
In the election there were a total of 373 voting areas across twelve regions, using the same regional boundaries as used in all previous European Parliamentary elections since 1999, under the provisions of the European Parliamentary Elections Act 2002, with votes counted at local authority level. In England the 317 local government districts were used as the voting areas; these consist of all unitary authorities, all metropolitan boroughs, all shire districts, the London boroughs, the City of London and the Isles of Scilly. The nine regions of England which make up the regional constituencies were then used to count the votes, with Gibraltar being regarded as part of South West England. Northern Ireland due to using a different form of Proportional representation than the rest of the UK was a single voting area and national constituency. In Scotland the 32 Scottish council areas were used as voting areas within its single national constituency whilst in Wales the 22 Welsh council areas were used as the voting areas within its single national constituency.
