Polling stations are now open across the UK for the snap general election, amid heightened security following the recent terror attacks in London and Manchester.

There are hundreds of polling stations across the country where you can cast your vote.

The first thing you have to do is find your polling station.

Where is my polling station?

After registering to vote, you should have received a polling card addressed to you through the door. On the card will be a small map which will direct you to the polling station you need to visit.

Polling stations are open today from 7am to 10pm, and the exit polls will be announced shortly after. If you are in the queue to vote at 10pm you will still be allowed to vote as it is against the law to turn anyone away who is inline.
