People across the country are heading to the polls today (Thursday December 12) to cast their votes in the general election.

Voters travelling to their polling stations will be facing heavy rain across most of Sussex in the first winter general election for decades.

Polls opened at 7am and will close at 10pm.

Once voting closes ballot boxes will be transported to the individual counts and results are expected in the early hours of Friday morning from 3am onwards in Sussex.
