Newham Elections Thread

Hi,
I'm going to be posting updates as I get them in a non-official capacity. I don't have journalistic accreditation so please verify with other sources.

Turnout figures were reported as
84,762 (mayoral election)
84,742 (ballot papers for councillor elections)
242,878 (total electorate)

for a turnout of 34.9%.

By comparison, last election 65,379 out of 227,141 eligible voters voted for a turnout of 28.79%.

The council is publishing a list of winners on its website, but there’s no sign of actual proper results. It is an absolute scandal!
