The election returned the Tories to power for another term; the new Parliament was summoned to meet on 24 November 1812.
The general election of 1812 returned the Tories to power for another term, under Prime Minister the Earl of Liverpool, who had called the election to increase the government majority in the House of Commons. The new Parliament was summoned to meet on 24 November 1812, for a maximum seven-year term from that date. The Irish constituency of Westmeath was cited as an example of the election's conduct, and Walker confirms the date of election there was 24 October 1812.
