Election History
Hilary Frank was re‑elected with 989 votes, a majority of 406 votes (20.37 % of the total) over the Reform UK candidate, and the margin has widened by 8.8 percentage points since the previous election. A swing of roughly 10.2 % would be required for another party to overturn the seat, and the Liberal Democrat vote share in the division has risen alongside a 5.3 pp increase across Cornwall. Despite the strong majority, the low turnout of 5.06 % and a vulnerability score of 48 / 100 suggest the seat remains competitively vulnerable.
