The country – or at least most of it – has gone to the polls today.

Several areas have chosen to hold their counts on Friday but many, including Portsmouth and Havant, have plumped for the traditional ‘start at 10pm and finish in the early hours routine’.

Here is all the action from the counts as it happened, with the final result coming in not long before 3am, plus a full results list from each area and reaction and analysis.

No polls in Fareham and Gosport this year – they are on the fourth, fallow year of the election cycle which sees ballots held in three out of every four years.
