BBC caption: After four weeks of campaigning the polls are closed, we now await the result of the general election.

The photo may be from 2010, from this site, which identifies the photo location further, with a different photo:  “Sign at the polling station in Plaistow, West Sussex, on Local Council Polling Day.”
