European Elections are also taking place today. For these, you vote for a political party to represent your views in the European Parliament, not an individual candidate.
So on the voting slip you’ll choose one ward candidate and one European political party.
The local election results are expected late on Friday morning, with the European Election results due to be announced on Sunday at 10pm.
