| On 8 June, for the UK general election, the Guardian will offer an innovative way to get live election results through notifications on Android devices using a Chrome browser. We have offered live alerts for elections before, for the EU referendum vote, as well as the US presidential election. On the night of the UK general election we will offer two types of alerts: a live results alert showing the latest country-wide data, and an alert showing the results of your local constituency when it comes in. | On 8 June, for the UK general election, the Guardian will offer an innovative way to get live election results through notifications on Android devices using a Chrome browser.

| The first of the two types is a national live results alert: Once the numbers begin to come in (some time around 11pm BST), alert subscribers will receive a single continuously updating notification. It will sit on the phone’s lock screen, or on a desktop, and refresh itself as results come in throughout the night. | The first of the two types is a national live results alert: Once the numbers begin to come in (some time around 11pm BST), alert subscribers will receive a single continuously updating notification.

| The notification will have two views. The first will have the latest party totals in a data visualization, and the second will have the latest results from constituencies declared. You’ll be able to switch between the two views through a button on the notification. | The notification will have two views.
