Saving Election Night in Bradford

Have sent this proposed Council motion to my Conservative Group colleagues - hopefully they will accept it and we will protect the evening count.


General Election Count

Council notes with regret the move away from the election count taking place on the evening following close of polling and believes it would be a retrograde step for the General Election counts for the Bradford District to take place at any other time.

Council asks the Chief Executive, as Acting Returning Officer, to prepare a report for Executive setting out the details of arrangements for the tradition of counting immediately following the close of polling in Bradford to continue.
