Their campaigning is over and their votes have been cast, leaving nothing for David Cameron and Ed Miliband to do but sit tight until the results start rolling in on General Election day.
It won’t be a comfortable wait for the pair, with this expected to be the closest election result in decades.
326 seats, or 50.15 percent, are needed for either the Conservative or Labour party to form a majority government in the House of Commons. The BBC’s latest poll of polls, taken the night before voting started, had the Tories winning 34 percent, with Labour at 33.
