TOMORROW has been dubbed as “Super Thursday” as voters across Great Britain will head to polling stations to mark their ballot papers.

But when are the election results expected to be announced?

Covid restrictions and safety measures will have an impact on the speed of the results this year with the counting of votes expected to take longer.

Our reporters will be down at the count at Andover Leisure Centre on Friday from 9am, bringing you the latest updates and the results from the local election.

Keep up to date with the latest election news via our website and social media pages.

The results of the Police and Crime Commissioner is expected to be announced on either Monday or Tuesday next week (May 10/11).

Andover Advertiser:

Here is all you need to know ahead of tomorrow:

How do I vote?

Polling stations will be open from 7am until 10pm on election day, they will be held in schools, leisure centres, churches and village halls.

If you have registered to vote, a polling card will arrive in the post explaining where your polling station is but you will not need your polling card to vote.

If you want to vote, attend your polling station on May 6, where you will be given a ballot paper which will contain a list of all the candidates you can vote for.

Read the instructions, mark your vote on the paper and then fold it up and pop it in the ballot box.

What has been done to make polling stations ‘Covid safe’?

Polling stations will have a range of measures in place to protect you whilst you vote. This could include socially distanced queues, only allowing a certain amount of people in at one given time, plastic screen and hand sunsetting stations.

This year, voters are being encouraged to bring their own pen or pencil, but don’t worry if you forget, the polling station will have spares on hand. Masks must be worn unless you are exempt.

What happens if I want to vote but I have to self-isolate?

 The deadline for applying for a proxy was 17:00 on 27 April. However, if you develop Covid symptoms, are asked to self-isolate by track and trace or catch Covid, then you can apply for an emergency proxy vote until 5pm on May 6.
