Millions of Britons are casting their votes in the UK's first general election since 2019, with polls open from 7am to 10pm. The final Ipsos poll before the election showed Labour leading with an 18-point advantage over the Conservatives, despite a five-point slip in Labour's support over the last week. The BBC, along with ITV and Sky News, will announce the results of their combined exit poll immediately after polls close at 10pm, with key seat announcements expected throughout the night. By 4am, it is anticipated that enough votes will have been counted to predict the winning party. The election has seen a significant focus on technology, with the BBC utilizing IP, bonded cellular, and satellite technology to cover the event.
