Reigate & Banstead Returning officer has confirmed his intention to count the votes from this years General Election directly following the close of polls rather than on the following day as previously through.
This change of approach follows both a national and local campaign to “Save Election Night”.

The Council is urging Merstham residents not to wait until the date of the general election is announced before registering to vote.
Registering to vote only takes a few minutes. You can either print off a Register of Electors form (pdf) from the Register of Electors page Council’s website or telephone the Council’s Help Line on 01737 276000.
