Description

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was seen arriving at a polling station on Thursday to cast his ballot in the UK’s general election.

Footage shows Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty entering and leaving the building.

Voters have gone to the polls across the UK in the first parliamentary election since 2019, electing 650 MPs in the House of Commons.

Under the United Kingdom's system, if a party gets a majority in the House of Commons - at least 326 seats - it can form a government, with the leader becoming the prime minister.

Sunak called the snap election in May. Polling stations for this year's UK general election are open from 07:00 to 22:00 local time, while the results are expected throughout Thursday night and into Friday.
