Polling stations open as residents in Newmarket, Soham, Mildenhall and surrounding villages chose who will represent them in local elections
Polling stations have opened as voters across the area choose who will represent them in town and district councils.
Newmarket residents will have to choose both town and district councillors - but in Soham and Mildenhall only district councillors will be elected after their town councils did not have enough people volunteer themselves for office.
There is also parish and district elections in the villages across West Suffolk and East Cambridgeshire.
Polling stations are open until 10pm and you can find your assigned station and ward on your polling card.
Votes for East Cambridgeshire District Council and West Suffolk will be counted tomorrow.
Here is who is standing.
