The votes will be counted immediately afterwards
Conservative MPs have triggered a no-confidence vote, meaning that Prime Minister Boris Johnson could face the chopping block at the hands of his own party.
Announcing the news on June 6, Tory chairman Sir Graham Brady said that the vote would be held between 6 pm and 8 pm today, with counting happening "immediately afterwards."

"The threshold of 15% of the parliamentary party seeking a vote of confidence in the leader of the Conservative Party has been exceeded," wrote Brady in a letter addressed to MPs. "In accordance with the rules, a ballot will be held between 1800 and 2000 TODAY MONDAY JUNE 6 - details to be confirmed. The votes will be counted immediately afterwards. An announcement will be made at a time to be advised. Arrangements for the announcement will be released later today."
"SIR GRAHAM BRADY MP CHAIRMAN OF THE 1922 COMMITTEE," he signed off the message.
