Polling stations have opened in the general election.
The outcome will set the political landscape for the next five years, with almost 700 candidates running in forty-three constituencies across the country.
Almost 3.7 million people are eligible to vote today, with polling hours from 7am to 10pm this evening.
People need to bring identification to the polling stations and are asked to bring their polling cards, though you can vote without them.
When you get into the polling booth put a number one beside your first choice, two beside your second and so on down the ballot.
Putting X's or ticks next to candidates could mean your vote is not valid. Any writing on the ballot paper may lead to your vote being declared spoiled.
