Your voice is your voice

By voting today, you have the opportunity to decide how the United Kingdom is governed for at least the next five years.

The MPs you elect will make important decisions on issues that matter to you – from national health and social care to housing, education, the environment and the economy.

By voting in today’s general election, you can support a candidate who represents your views in Parliament and can influence the policies you want to change. This election is your chance to have your say if you don’t like the way the country is being run.

Parliamentary elections 2024: Where is my nearest polling station? Where can I vote?

Voting is not the only way to participate in our democracy, but it is the quickest and easiest way.

If you don’t vote today, you will have no influence on who decides important issues that affect your health and happiness and that of your family.

If you don’t vote today, you have no right to complain.

PlymouthLive will be reporting live throughout the night so you can follow every twist and turn live, including the results as they come in. Reporter Carl Eve will be at the count at Plymouth Life Centre where the results from Plymouth Moor View, Plymouth Sutton and Devonport and South West Devon will be announced.

Plymouth Moor View, currently held by Conservative Johnny Mercer, is expected to be the first to announce results at around 5.15am on Friday. Neighbouring Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, held by Labour leader Luke Pollard, is expected to follow shortly after at around 5.30am.

South West Devon, where sitting Tory MP Sir Gary Streeter is standing down and being replaced by Rebecca Smith, is likely to be the last constituency to see the election announced at around 6am. PlymouthLive will also keep you updated on results in South East Cornwall and Torridge and Tavistock.
