UK election 2017: When will the results come in? Guide to election nigh
When do polls close?
Polling stations will close at 10pm this evening, but it will be long night before we find out who has won the historic general election.
At 10pm, the major broadcasters will also publish exit polls which will give an early prediction of the winner.
There were also no exit polls for EU referendum, which increased the suspense and uncertainty on the night of the vote count.
How does the count work?
After the polls close at 10pm, ballot boxes will be taken from polling stations to local count venues across Britain.
The ballot papers will be verified and counted there before the local counting officer makes the declaration for the local area.
The winning party will become clear in the early hours of the morning and the national election result is expected to be declared early on Friday.
The very last constituencies will not announce their results by midday.
The first results to come in before midnight are usually the three Sunderland constituencies, who compete to their counts declared first.
London seat expected to declare a winner is Battersea, with a result expected about 1am, followed by Sadiq Khan's former seat Tooting half an hour later.
The results for many of the 650 Parliamentary seats will flow thick and fast between 2am and 6am.
When will the count start in your area?
Before the election results are counted, the ballot papers must first be verified.
The Electoral Commission table below shows that time that local authorities expect to begin the counting process.
