General election campaign enters its final day
- Published
Wednesday is the last day of the campaign for politicians and parties across the UK and Northern Ireland.
Polling day is taking place on 4 July with 18 seats available in Northern Ireland.
Polling stations open on Thursday at 07:00 and close at 22:00.
You can vote as long as you are in the queue by 22:00.
You can only vote at your local polling station, which might not be the same as in previous elections.
With politicians vying for one of 18 seats available in Northern Ireland, there's still plenty of coverage across the BBC on digital, tv and radio.
The general election is to elect 650 Members of Parliament - or MPs - to the House of Commons, each representing a single constituency.
To find out who is standing for election in your Northern Ireland constituency, BBC NI's guide to who's standing is here.
A total of 136 candidates are standing for election in Northern Ireland in the general election on 4 July, the Electoral Office has said.
In the general election five years ago, 102 people put their name forward.
Only two of the main parties - Alliance and the SDLP - are contesting all of Northern Ireland's 18 constituencies.
Remember your ID
The Northern Ireland Electoral office has urged voters to be ready for Thursday with the necessary form of photographic ID to place your vote.
The full list of accepted ID can be found on the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland website, external.
Cahir Hughes, Head of the Electoral Commission in Northern Ireland, said:
"It is vital all voters in Northern Ireland have all the information they need to make sure their voice is heard at the UK general election on Thursday 4 July.
"Before heading to the polling station, check to make sure that you have the ID you need to vote. It needs to be an original version, copies and pictures won’t be accepted," he added.
Will voters stick with what they know?
Some big questions are going to be answered come this time Friday morning.
Will Sinn Féin emerge as the largest party at Westminster?
Will the DUP lose any seats that might allow Sinn Féin to claim that title?
What impact will the TUV have on the final result? The party is running this time round, didn't field candidates last time round and how nervous does that make some DUP MPs out there?
Will voters stick with what they know - in terms of the DUP.
Will the Alliance party be able to hold onto its seat in North Down?
Will the Ulster Unionist party return to the green benches at Westminster?
Another big question is what will the boundary changes make to voting? There will be people voting in very different constituencies than they were in 2019.
Of course the important question - what will the turn out be on 4 July - and will the summer holidays stop voters?
On election night, Mark Carruthers will be joined by BBC NI's political editor Enda McClafferty and communities correspondent Mark Simpson alongside reporters on the ground at count centres.
It will also include reaction and analysis from politicians and expert commentators as the outcome of the 2024 Westminster election is confirmed.
The programme will be broadcast on radio and the BBC NI's website.
As results come in, BBC News NI’s website will bring rolling updates from all 18 constituencies including leader profiles, interactive guides and in-depth reporting.
After the results, Mark Carruthers will present an extended Sunday Politics programme, with discussions from experts and guests to discuss the outcome in Northern Ireland.
