The latest round of elections are almost upon us – but when will the results be declared?
Swindon will go to the polls next Thursday to vote for their local representatives and the county’s Police and Crime Commissioner.
The results of these elections, which are being held all over the country, will be declared over several days, as soon as the night of May 2 up to the late hours of May 5.
There are 107 councils holding elections in England, with around a third (35) currently expected to declare on the night of May 2, nearly two-thirds (68) expected to declare during the day on May 3, with three due on May 4, and the last one on May 5.
The results of four of the 11 mayoral contests (East Midlands, North East, Tees Valley and York & North Yorkshire) will be declared during the day on May 3, while the rest – including London and the West Midlands – will be declared on May 4.
Of the results for the 37 police and crime commissioner elections across England and Wales, three will be declared on the night of May 2, 24 will be declared during the day on May 3, eight will be declared on May 4 and two will be declared on May 5.
Results of the London Assembly election will be declared on the afternoon of May 4, but exact timings for all the constituencies are currently unavailable.
The latest available list of estimated result declarations is divided into four sections: overnight Thursday May 2 into Friday May 3, Friday May 3 daytime/evening, Saturday May 4, and Sunday May 5.
Within each section, the declaration times are broken down into the categories of councils, mayors and police and crime commissioners.
All timings are estimates based on information compiled by the PA news agency and are subject to change.
