General election 2015: what's happening where you are on polling day?

Weeks of campaigning, debating, canvassing and reporting come to a head on Thursday. You’ve been sharing your stories from polling day and now we await the results of the votes you cast.

Polls and reports suggest the most closely contested election in decades and politicians and journalists alike will be scrutinising “the seats to watch”, but what is the picture on the ground? You’ve been sharing stories throughout the campaign. Now we want to hear from you this election night - help us document decision day across the UK.

This is the place to share your stories from wherever you were on polling day in words, pictures or video. Show us what’s been happening in your community and at polling stations around the country. If you’re following the election from outside of the UK, tell us how and why.

We’ll feature your stories throughout our coverage, so get in touch. If you’re on Twitter or Instagram you can share your experience using #GuardianWitness and we’ll include a selection of these posts.

Remember that sharing pictures of yourself or what’s happening before you go into or after you leave the polling station are great, but please don’t take pictures or video of yourself inside the polling station, as publishing it to GuardianWitness or social media could be a breach of the law.

You can share your stories by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ button on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the Guardian app or email us at guardian.witness@theguardian.com
