The stage is set and could we be heading for a Liberal Democrat victory here? Well – that’s certainly the feeling from some tonight.
The exit poll suggests this seat could be turning from blue to yellow for the first time in its history - a feeling echoed by people I’ve been speaking to on the ground.
Michael Gove has held this seat for nearly 20 years. But he stood down in May, which means whatever the result here overnight, Surrey Heath will have a brand new MP.
Gove was first elected here in 2005, and last election won with a majority of 18,349, but he was one of a wave of high profile candidates who announced he was not to stand this time around.
This time it’s been targeted by the Liberal Democrats and Al Pinkerton. Has he done enough to win people over?
The voter turnout is 67% and we will find out the result at around 04:30 BST.
Turnout has varied widely across the South East, with most constituencies reporting lower figures than 2019.
Here are the figures we have so far:
Bognor & Littlehampton - 61.93%
Ashford - 62%
Weald of Kent - 67%
Bexhill & Battle - 66%
Guildford - 68.6%
Gravesham - 59.3%
Canterbury - 66.7%
Tunbridge Wells - 69.2%
Hastings & Rye - 60.81%
East Surrey - 67.5%
East Thanet - 57.26%
Dorking & Horley - 70%
Sittingbourne & Sheppey 51.97%
Dover & Deal - 63%
Maidstone & Malling - 60.86%
Rochester & Strood - 57.5%
Chatham & Aylesford - 54.5%
Tonbridge - 69%
Esher & Walton - 74.2%

A Labour figure has told me it is “tight” between Jeremy Hunt and his Liberal Democrat opponent, Paul Follows.
There are around 70 journalists here to cover the election, showing just how much interest there is in whether Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will keep his seat.
Counting has begun with a turnout of 72.3%.
