Mrs May surprised allies and opponents on Tuesday when she announced her plan to bring forward an election that was not due until 2020, saying she needed to avoid a clash of priorities in the sensitive final stages of the two-year Brexit talks, reported Reuters. There were also a number of abstentions.
May told the Commons an election was necessary to ensure "stability and certainty" for the country.
May is hoping to gain a bigger majority in Parliament for her Conservatives.
Since being fired by Theresa May, Osborne has earned lucrative speaking fees and taken on an advisory role for American investment giant Blackrock. The ministers approved her call for a snap general election on June 8.
May raised a motion calling for a poll in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
Under British electoral law, May needs the backing of two-thirds of lawmakers.
The Prime Minister and Maidenhead MP said, if she had not performed a U-turn on calling an early vote, the "crucial part" of the Brexit talks would have occurred in the build-up to a general election, which European Union negotiators could have exploited as a "weakness". Leaders of European Union states are due to adopt negotiating guidelines at an April 29 summit, and the bloc will prepare detailed plans for the talks with Britain by late May.
"Following their conversation, the president considers that the real political negotiations on Article 50 with the United Kingdom will start after the elections foreseen for the 8th of June", the spokesman said, referring to the European Union treaty rule that regulates the exit of a member state from the bloc.
"That's what this is about, it's about asking the people to trust me, to trust us in government, to give us that mandate to go and get that really good deal for the United Kingdom".
Corbyn said years of Conservative austerity had led to falling living standards and called May "a prime minister who can't be trusted". She will likely get it, since Labour has welcomed the early election.

Afterward, he said he was "100 percent". "I always expect for us to be better than what people think we're going to be. Now they've got a confidence that Isaiah is going to have no matter what, so you've got to lock in on everybody".
He said: "She has treated any questioning of what she is doing as frustration - I think that's wrong".
Britain is set to go to the polls on June 8 after an overwhelming majority of MPs backed Prime Minister Theresa May's call to hold a general election on that date.
She blamed the Lib Dems, for wanting to "grind" the business of government to a standstill, the SNP for threatening to vote against negotiations and Labour's threat to vote against the final Brexit agreement.
Piers Corbyn accused the corporation of a series of cover ups to protect the establishment - that included making attacks on his brother - but insisted Labour could still win a "reasonable" majority. He added: "If it isn't a triumphant success, it will be to some extent a personal failure".
What's more, it means she is no longer prime minister by default after replacing David Cameron last July.
"I'm asking them to put their trust in me and if they do that, if they give me a mandate for these negotiations for the plan for Brexit that the Government has, the plan for a stronger Britain beyond Brexit that we have, then I think that will strengthen our hand", May told BBC.
"I want this country to be able to play the strongest hand possible in those negotiations and be in a position to get the best possible deal".
The House of Commons will vote later Wednesday on whether to support May's call for a snap election.
Elections are now set for 2020, just a year after the scheduled completion of Brexit talks.
