When does the British general election begin to vote?

This Thursday (June 8), the British general election began at 7 am local time, and tens of millions of voters went to the polling station. The voting will end at 22:00 local time (5:00 am Beijing time). 650 members of the British House of Commons will be elected.

The number of registered voters reached 46.9 million, higher than 46.4 million in 20 15. Some of these voters voted by mail yesterday. In the 20 15 general election, such stamps accounted for 16.4% of the total votes, and the turnout rate at that time was 66.4%. The Conservative Party won with 33 1 seat.

Most polling stations are located in schools, community centers and residential buildings. Due to the successive terrorist attacks, all polling stations have strengthened their police force, and armed police have been dispatched in some areas.

The election results in some areas will be announced before midnight today (Beijing time), and the final results are expected to be announced on Friday afternoon. According to the weather forecast, it is rainy in southwest England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and cloudy in southeast England. The polling station will be closed at 22: 00 local time, but the official explained that voters queuing outside the polling station can still vote.
