After months of campaigning, debating, hand-shaking, door-knocking and general bickering, it all comes down to today. 

May 7, 2015 - known to traditionalists as polling day or, to social media addicts, #GE2015 - has arrived.

Up and down the country, voters are marking their ballot papers in what has become widely regarded as one of the closest General Elections for a generation. 

While opinion polls all point to another hung parliament, with neither the Conservatives or Labour gaining enough Commons seats to form a majority government, the picture in Kingston is only slightly clearer.

As always, the battle for both the borough's Parliamentary seats appears to be a straight fight between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. 

In Kingston and Surbiton, Liberal Democrat Edward Davey will be hoping to retain the seat he first won in 1997. 

Meanwhile, Conservative Zac Goldsmith is odds-on with the bookies to be re-elected as Richmond Park and North Kingston's MP.

Voters in Kingston and Surbiton have seven candidates to choose from; Richmond Park and North Kingston five. 

Below are links to profiles on all 12 prospective candidates:

As well as the general election, there are also two council byelections taking place in Kingston, and you can read profiles of each candidate below:

The Surrey Comet will be reporting live throughout tonight's election count, bringing you news, gossip and interviews.

Before then, you can catch up on all our previous stories from the campaign trail on our General Election channel, including David Cameron's visit to Tolworth, Nick Clegg's difficult appearence in Surbiton and Ed Davey's spat with George Osborne over rezoning.

And do not forget to remind yourself of how last month's spiky hustings meeting chaired by the Surrey Comet went down.   

There are also interactive maps showing you which incumbent MPs across south London and north Surrey should be most worried about losing their seat. 

Of course, with all the news saturation, there is a chance you may never want to read about the election ever again.  

In which case, here are a few stories that have nothing to do with Westminster whatsoever:
