IT'S time to make up your mind. 

It seems like more than 8 weeks since Prime Minister Theresa May called the snap election. The lead-up to the vote has shown all that is good, bad and ugly of British politics.  

Party leaders criss-crossed the country yesterday in a last-ditch attempt to secure votes. 

One of the most interesting seats to watch will be Slough, which has been a Labour stronghold for 20 years, but could be taken by the Tories. 

However, no election campaign in modern times has seen such a swing in the polls. Stats at the beginning of the election trail suggested a major Conservative lead. But the latest results show the gap has narrowed, to as little as one point in some areas. 

Now, the politicians have said all they can, the campaigns have come to an end- and polling is open. It's time to have your say. 

If you have registered to vote, you can head to your local polling station between 7am and 10pm. 

Voters are advised to plan in advance, as previous elections have seen a last-minute rush, with long queues outside polling stations close to closing time. 

We will be running a live blog after the polls close, right through the results and in to the morning. We will bring you updates from local polls, from across Berkshire, and nationally. 

Meanwhile, a hashtag that's causing widespread amusement is #dogsatpollingstations...if this chap can get out to the polling station, so can you!
