The crunch Brexit vote is due to happen in the next 30 minutes. Here's what you'll see if you're watching the action in the House of Commons at 7 p.m. UK time (3 p.m. ET):
The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, will say something along the lines of: "The Question is, that the Bill be read a second time. As many as are of that opinion say Aye."
At this point, those who support the bill yell "Aye!" He then adds: "of the contrary No," prompting those who are against it to shout "No!"
Bercow then says "I think the Ayes have it..." If MPs yell "No!" in response, he will announce a vote by bellowing: "Clear the Lobbies".
The division bell will then sound throughout the Houses of Parliament.
MPs will file out of the Commons to cast their vote by coming back into the chamber again, through one of the two division lobbies, the "Aye" lobby (to vote yes) or the "No" lobby, past clerks, who take their names, and tellers, who count up the votes.
They will have eight minutes to do this; once they are back inside, the doors are locked and the tellers announce the numbers of "Ayes to the left" and "Noes to the right."
The Speaker will then repeat the numbers, and announce which side has won, either: "the Ayes have it," or "the Noes have it," before instructing the Parliamentary authorities to "Unlock the doors!"
