The following are some of the main issues British electors are expected to consider as they cast their ballots:
ECONOMY
More than two years of high inflation hit voters' living standards hard and although wages are now growing faster than prices, living standards are set to be lower when Britain elects a new parliament than at the time of the last election in 2019.
HEALTH
Most British voters treasure the publicly-funded National Health Service, but feel it is failing to meet their needs.
IMMIGRATION
Immigration has played a central role in British politics for more than a decade. Polling in February by Ipsos showed 37% of voters named it as an issue that would be very important in deciding how they vote - the fourth most-chosen response.
CLIMATE
Britain has set itself a target to reach net zero by 2050 and the government is legally bound to have a credible plan to do so.
