Under the British parliamentary system, the right to vote for UK Prime Minister was offered to 172,000 Conservative Party “members” who held a majority in parliament.  Of this group, fully a 20% subset (30,000+) of members did not vote. 142,000 then cast votes on behalf of the remainder of all of Britain. Only 82,136 voted for Truss.  However, as of July 2020, there are 46.8 million registered UK voters.  0.17% of British voters put Truss in power.

Having won election as Leader of the Conservative Party on September 5, 2022, Truss was received the following day by Queen Elizabeth II, who duly appointed her as Britain's new Prime Minister. The meeting occurred at Balmoral Castle in [[Scotland]], making Truss the first prime minister during Elizabeth's reign not to be appointed at [[Buckingham Palace]].<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/31/uk/queen-elizabeth-prime-minister-balmoral-intl-gbr/index.html</ref> The appointment would turn out to be one of the Queen's last official acts as Head of State before her death just two days later at Balmoral Castle. This made Truss, who addressed the nation shortly thereafter, the last of fifteen Prime Ministers to serve under Elizabeth II, the first being [[Winston Churchill]] in the 1950s.
