Political parties and candidates have 38 days to appeal to voters and begin touring the country and their constituencies on their battle buses.
Live televised debates between the party leaders are broadcast giving voters the chance to get to know party policies from the comfort of their sofas.
The Prime Minister David Cameron debated live against six other party leaders on April 2 on ITV.
Another debate between opposition party leaders will be broadcast by the BBC on April 16 but David Cameron and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg will not take part.
So, how long do you have left to register to vote?
You MUST register by Monday, April 20 if you want to vote in person.
Registering takes about five minutes and you’ll need your National Insurance number.
Once you have registered, you’ll receive a card explaining which polling station you should vote at.
If you’d like to vote by post, you must apply to do so by 5pm on Tuesday, April 21.
You can send off your registration by post but you have to dowload the form here or contact your local registration office, who will send you the forms.
Having trouble registering? You can call the helpline on 0800 4320 712.
What happens on polling day?
On May 7, primary schools, libraries, hair salons and pubs across the country transform into polling stations.
Polling stations open 7am to 10pm for anyone registered to vote in person.
Postal voters should receive their ballot papers the week before and need to return them by 10pm on polling day.
Mark an X on the ballot paper for your chosen candidate.
Anything else you write will spoil your ballot paper and void your vote.
At 10pm, unless voters are still queuing, polling station doors close and ballot boxes are sealed and transported to counting centres.
Counting begins and continues through to Friday morning.

THE RESULTS
Winning the election – how does that happen?
For a party to win outright, they will have to hold an absolute majority – 326 seats out of the 650 available seats in the House of Commons.
What is a hung parliament?
The election result is expected to be very, very close and we may get a hung parliament, meaning no single party has a majority of seats in the Commons.
If this happens, the party with the most seats will look to other parties to form a coalition.
What is a minority government?
The party with the most seats but without a majority can also try to rule as a minority government.
A minority government could try to call another election to bump up their numbers.
When will parliament return?
Parliament is due to reconvene on May 18, 10 days after the election.
