Published 14 minutes ago
Voting is underway in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election as candidates from across the political spectrum vie to become its new MP.
About 30 polling stations—at churches and community centres—in the north London constituency opened at 07:00 BST and will close at 22:00, when a count will begin.
The seat became vacant after former prime minister Sir Keir Starmer announced he was standing down to focus on a role in international affairs.
Some 15 candidates are standing in the by-election, one of whom is an independent. Voters will need to show a form of acceptable ID—such as a driving licence or passport—to be able to vote.
Who are the candidates up for election? Read the full list here.
