Polls in Oxfordshire are now open

Oxfordshire polls have now opened as the General Election gets underway.

Polling stations in the seven constituencies will be open for people to cast their vote between 7am and 10pm.

Those in Oxfordshire are reminded to bring photo ID when going to the polls.

It is the first General Election where voters will need to show photographic ID before they can receive their ballot paper following a law change in 2022.

An exit poll, published shortly after 10pm on Thursday, will provide the first indication of how the election has gone on a national level.

We will be providing live coverage of the count overnight.

We will have reporters stationed at each of the seven Oxfordshire constituencies from 9pm ready to feed you all the latest through our online live blog ahead of the vote count starting at 10pm.

Once results are announced we will publish them straightaway.

These are expected at times between 3am and 7am depending on the constituency.

All the Oxfordshire constituencies are currently Conservative besides the two in Oxford which are Labour and Liberal Democrat.

Many polls are saying a few of the Conservative constituencies could fall to the Liberal Democrats.

The new seventh constituency - Bicester and Woodstock - has been dubbed the scene of a tight three-horse race between the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives and Labour.
