VO1: From factories to kitchens, coastal towns to inner city - party leaders have spent the last few weeks touring up and down the UK trying to clinch every vote.
Most have spent their time in marginal seats - knowing that victory there could swing this knife-edge election.
Labour leader Ed Miliband making his last big speech...
CUT 1: Ed Miliband, Labour Leader: "You know friends I think this is the clearest choice before the British people in a generation, between a Tory government that only works for the privileged few or a Labour government that would put working families first again."
VO2: Polls right up to the end have been pretty much neck and neck - no party has pulled clear in this race...
That could mean another coalition or a minority government...
Prime Minister and Conservative Leader David Cameron warning voters there is another choice...
CUT2: David Cameron, Conservative Leader: "I do find it rather incredible the idea you could have a Labour leader propped up by the SNP who don't want our country to exist or be a success that is a worrying prospect but people can still avoid that by casting their votes for Conservative candidates on Thursday."
VO3: During the last election, 29.6 million people turned out to vote, 65.1 per cent of the population.
Will polls neck and neck this time - every vote counts.
Liberal Democrat leader NIck Clegg has admitted he knows he wont be Prime Minister, but insists it is in the country's interest the Lib Dem's continue to play a part...
CUT3: Nick Clegg, Liberal Democrat leader: "We've put the country before our party before. It was a brave thing to do, it was the right thing to do. And we would do it again. And that contrasts I think with the attitude of both David Cameron and Ed Miliband who are still seeking to claim that they are going to win a majority when they know they are not and are in real danger of sleep walking towards a messy, unstable, minority government that is basically held captive by the extremes on right and left. That is not what our country needs."
VO3: Despite how close the race is, these voters say it is vital to have your say...

As millions head to the polls - behind the scenes, senior party officials are busy plotting and planning...
If, as expected, there's no clear winner, negotiations could go on for days, if not weeks.
