Voting in the UK general election has ended, with polling stations across Devon and Cornwall now closed.

People voted between 07:00 BST and 22:00.

Thirteen seats were contested in Devon and six in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Anyone who voted needed to take an approved form of photo ID to the polling station.

The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ, like other broadcasters, was not allowed to report details of campaigning while the polls were open.

More details around electoral law and the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ code of practice is explained here.
