It's time to cast our votes.
The 2019 general election takes place today, and sees the British public visit polling stations to mark their votes for the political parties they want to decide the country's future.
Politicians facing the electorate's scrutiny include incumbent prime minister Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn .
But, once you have confirmed that you are registered and going to the correct polling station , are you allowed to do your favourite social media hobbies of sharing details about your life and taking selfies in the polling station itself?
Here's what you need to know.
Can you take a selfie at the polling station?
Well, it is slightly tricky.
The Electoral Commission advises strongly against taking selfies or photos inside the polling stations in case you expose how someone voted to the public, which is against the law.
The act of taking photos inside the polling station is not in and of itself illegal - but giving away how anyone has voted to the public is a crime.
The Commission recommends that if you are to take a photo or selfie then do so outside the polling station - perhaps near the signs for it.
This way you know you aren't breaking any laws but you are still encouraging others to vote and celebrating your own democratic right to do so.
You can also reveal on social media how you yourself voted, but not how anyone else has as this can be punished by a fine of up to £5,000 or six months in prison - and the same is true if this is in photographic form.
Additionally, do not take a photo of your ballot paper.
Essentially, by all means, say how you voted and take a photo outside the polling station, but anything else could lead to issues.
The general election 2019 polling stations are open today from 7am to 10pm.
