STORYLINE:
Final preparations were underway at a polling station in London on Thursday ahead of a parliamentary election that is widely expected to bring the Labour Party to power.
Against a gloomy backdrop of economic malaise, mounting distrust in institutions and a fraying social fabric, British voters will pick a new government.
A jaded electorate is delivering its verdict on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party, which has been in power since 2010.
The center-left Labour Party led by Keir Starmer has had a steady and significant lead in opinion polls for months, but its leaders have warned against taking the election result for granted, worried their supporters will stay home.
The Conservatives have conceded that Labour appears headed for victory and urged voters not to hand the party a “supermajority.”
