Polls have now opened as the General Election gets underway.

Polling stations will be open for people to cast their vote from 7am to 10pm.

Residents are reminded to bring photo ID when going to the polls.

It is the first General Election where voters will need to show photographic ID before they can receive their ballot paper following a law change in 2022.

An exit poll, published shortly after 10pm on Thursday, will provide the first indication of how the election has gone on a national level.
