Voting for this year's local election is now closed!
So, what happens next? We will have progress results to share with you this afternoon after 3pm. Progress results will include most of the regular votes submitted through the post or hand-delivered to collection sites during the voting period, but do not account for hand-delivered regular votes received on the final two days of voting, or special votes. Because of this, there is a possibility these results may change.
Preliminary results will be announced tomorrow evening. Preliminary results include all regular votes received by post of hand-delivered to collection sites.
Final results will be announced on Thursday 13 October 2022 once all special votes are processed.
