Voters have been braving wet and cold weather to queue up at polling stations across Kent.

Pubs, a castle, and a zoo - are just some of the more unusual locations being used.

There are 17 constituencies up for grabs in Kent and Medway, all but one - Canterbury - held by the Conservatives.

In total, around 90 candidates are standing for election.

The election campaign - the first December poll since 1923 - has been dominated by Brexit and the NHS.

At the last election, 892,000 votes were cast by voters in Kent, representing a turnout of 69%.

Voters at a Kent polling station got more than they bargained for when an internet prankster showed up in his boxer shorts clutching a sound system.

Polling stations across Kent will close at 10pm with results being announced through the night.

As Kent is going to the polls - these are the times the results are expected for each constituency.
