With polling stations across Basingstoke and the country open for another five hours, our reporters have hit the streets to find out how voters are feeling ahead of tonight's result. 

It has been a challenging general election for both Labour and the Conservative Party, with both Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn suffering various campaign mishaps. 

This afternoon, reporter Beth Whittingham visited a polling station in South Ham where she caught up with residents. 

This is what they said:

Collin Rolfe, 80, from South Ham, said: "It was an easy decision for me. I have always voted Labour but their policies have changed so dramatically I had to vote Conservatives. I voted for a better outlook of life and to do that meant voting for the Tories."

Amber Smith, 24, from South Ham, said: "I stuck with the Conservatives. I admit I was very unsure of who to go for but I didn’t want to waste my vote. I originally voted remain but what with the country in the state it’s in at the moment I just think that something happening is better than nothing."

One voter from South Ham, who wanted to remain nameless as she currently works for the Lib Dems, said: "I would normally have voted for Lib Dems as I am a loyal member but this vote isn’t about who is going to be prime minister, it’s about whether we have another referendum on Brexit or not. Brexit is the only policy these politicians can deliver on because there’s not enough money for anything else."

John Andrews, 66, South Ham, said: "I stuck with Labour and I can’t comprehend anyone who would vote for that blonde blobby fascist. He is completely inadequate with no opinion of his own, you can tell though his blundering speeches. At least Corbyn has his heart in the right place."

John Matthews, 72, from South Ham, who was an active member of the Labour Party in the late 80s, said: "I support the reds in football and in politics and I always will but this is a decision I have made on my own not from outside influences. When my grandparents voted Conservative, I was furious with them but at that time you had to vote for the boss or you’d lose you job and your house. And I honestly think they did that mostly out of fear but thankfully times have changed since then.

He added: "When we first voted to join the EU back in 1947, I voted remain because I thought why change, but I’m proud to say that like the rest of the country, we’ve changed since then. We benefit massively from being in the EU, our trading has taken off since in the last 60 years and it’s mainly down to the EU. So I want to call for another referendum because young people need to learn what it was like before we were in the EU to understand what it will be like when we leave."
