1865 election
1868 election
1874 election
The 1868 UK general election was the first after passage of the Reform Act 1867, which enfranchised many male householders, thus greatly increasing the number of men who could vote in elections in the United Kingdom. Nearly triple the number of votes were cast compared to the previous election.

The result saw the Liberals, led by William Gladstone, again increase their large majority over Benjamin Disraeli's Conservatives.

Results

Total votes cast: 2,333,251
