A series of opinion polls so far have shown Labour on course for a landslide victory.
But the Prime Minister, who called a general election six weeks ago, has warned voters not to hand Sir Keir Starmer unchecked power.
The Conservative leader continued his campaign against a Labour “socialist supermajority” with a series of social media posts overnight before polls opened.
He has repeatedly warned of tax increases if Sir Keir comes to power and has said Labour will target workers, savers, homeowners, pensioners and drivers.
At his final campaign rally last night, the Prime Minister admitted he was the “underdog” but promised: “This underdog will fight to the final whistle.”
Mr Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty were seen voting early this morning at Kirby Sigston Village Hall in his Richmond and Northallerton constituency in Yorkshire.

This year is the first time in the UK that anyone wanting to vote in person in a general election will be required to show ID before receiving a ballot paper.
Sir Keir voted later this morning when he went to a polling station with his wife Victoria in his constituency of Holborn and St Pancras in north London.
They arrived hand in hand at Willingham Close TRA Hall in Kentish Town.
He wore a navy blue vest and white T-shirt as he queued to cast his ballot early Thursday morning.

A final Ipsos poll released today showed Labour had fallen five points since last week to 37 per cent of the vote.
But Sir Keir’s party still holds a strong 18-point lead over the Conservatives, who were unchanged on 19 percent.
The poll of more than 2,000 adults, conducted between Monday and yesterday afternoon, also showed Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party unchanged at 15 per cent, with the Liberal Democrats on 11 per cent and the Greens on 9 per cent.
The poll found the Conservatives holding at their lowest vote share on Ipsos records since the late 1970s, but also put Labour at its lowest vote share since 2021.
