[ad_1]

Millions of voters are preparing to cast their ballot in the third UK general election in less than five years. 

Polling stations across the country will open from 7am until 10pm on Thursday in what is the first December election since 1923.

Voter turnout may be affected by cold, wet and windy conditions across the country, with the Met Office warning wind gusts could reach 30mph. 

It comes after a busy final day on the campaign trail, in which Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn zig-zagged across the country in a last-ditch push for support.
