On Friday, the UK will know whether it has a new government in power led by Kier Starmer and if it does, whether Labour's majority is a record.
Russ Mould at AJ Bell has looked into how markets typically react to the fallout of general elections.
He said: " A study of all sixteen of the general elections since the inception of the FTSE All-Share in 1962 shows that the UK stock market is by no means frightened of a change in government and it may even welcome it.
"On average, the FTSE All-Share has recorded a double-digit percentage gain in the first year after an election which sees one prime minister ejected from office and a new one ushered in. There are also greater average gains when a government changes relative to when it remains the same."
