When does general election coverage start on TV?

OFCOM rules broadcasters must not discuss politics while voting is underway.

They also cannot publish the results of any opinion polls while people are voting.

So coverage will start at 10pm, after polling has closed, and the exit poll will be released.

It gives an accurate projection of the actual result.
