Polling stations across Fife have opened as the 2024 UK General Election gets underway.

Four seats are up for grabs across the Kingdom, and with two MPs standing down, there are certain to be some new faces heading to Westminster.

The doors to over 300 polling stations opened at 7:00am and will not close until 10:00pm, after which the focus will switch to the Michael Woods Sports Centre in Glenrothes where the Fife count will take place.

All four Fife constituencies have been tweaked by the Boundary Commission. Dunfermline now takes in Dollar, while the marginal North-East Fife constituency now takes in part of Leven. Changes have also been made to the renamed Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy, and Glenrothes and Mid Fife constituencies.

Peter Grant, who represented Glenrothes, and Douglas Chapman (Dunfermline) both stood down at this election.
