Six weeks on from a sodden Rishi Sunak announcing the surprise general election and voters go the polls today.
Candidates have pounded the streets across Norfolk and Waveney and have knocked on thousands of doors.
Major election issues have included taxes, the cost of living, immigration, dentistry, sewage, the NHS and pylons.

But after all the campaigning by candidates, their fates are now in the hands of Norfolk and Waveney's voters.
Polling stations open at 7am today (Thursday, July 4) and shut at 10pm, after which ballot boxes will be taken to the locations for the overnight counts.
People are urged to make sure they take appropriate photo ID to be able to vote.
This is when results are estimated to be declared in each constituency:
