Yahoo News What time will we know the General Election 2024 results? Hour-by-hour guide
After what feels like a pretty swift campaign we have finally made it to election night. Between 7am and 10pm today (Thursday, July 4), anyone registered will be able to cast their vote in church halls, youth clubs and community centres across the region.
And when the polls close at 10pm there will be nothing left for the candidates or the electorate to do but wait. Wait and see who won in their constituency, wait and see whether one party has enough seats for a majority and wait and see who will be the next Prime Minister.
Of course if there is a hung Parliament some of these answers, we could be waiting days for. There are 650 seats being fought across the country today - 326 are needed for a majority.

Not all the results come in at once however - and we could be waiting until well into Friday morning before the final picture is revealed and what it means.
The first key moment of the night is 10pm when the polls close and the exit poll is revealed. It is much more accurate than opinion polls, and correctly predicted the Tories winning in 2019, as well as the hung Parliaments of 2010 and 2017. But it wrongly predicted a hung parliament in 2015 when the Tories ended up getting an overall majority.
It is expected that the first set of results nationally will come in around 11pm in the North East - however in the West Country we will have to wait until the early hours of Friday morning to see who will be representing you in Parliament.
Estimates from PA predict that the first seats to be announced in our region will be the closely fought over newly established Bristol Central seat around 3.15am. This result will be followed closely by Bristol South, Bristol East, Bristol North East, and Bristol North West - all estimated to be announced before 4am.
Jacob Rees-Mogg will learn his fate sometime between 4am to 5am in the newly established North East Somerset and Hanham seat. From 5am we should know whether there has been any change in Filton and Bradley Stoke, Thornbury and Yate, North Somerset and Weston-super-Mare - or whether the Tories have managed to hold onto their seats.
Full list of results by estimated time
NOTE: All seat results times are estimates given to PA Media, and could change dramatically due to unforeseen events on the night.
The list is based on information compiled by the PA news agency and is intended to be a guide to when the 650 constituency results are likely to be declared. All timings are approximate and can be affected by issues such as delays in verifying and counting ballots, or by recounts.
There have been substantial boundary changes at this election and this means there is considerable uncertainty around some of timings below. The list is arranged by the estimated time of declaration, starting with the earliest.
