THE Crediton Courier will provide live coverage of the election count for the Central Devon seat on its website overnight from tomorrow into Friday, July 4 and 5. 

This election is expected to be a historic one with massive changes to the political landscape turning the map of the UK from blue to red. 

Conservative leader Rishi Sunak is hoping to prove the forecasts wrong by returning to Downing Street and preventing Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer from leading his party to government. 

Tindle Newspapers, publisher of the Crediton Courier, will be at every election count in the areas it covers up and down the country. 

From Wales to Woking, Cornwall to Monmouthshire and Devon to Somerset, Tindle websites will run live blogs, election result round-ups, offer video and more. 

Our readers will be able to watch events play out in real time with our digital coverage overnight. 

The count for the Central Devon constituency, which includes Crediton, Okehampton and Ashburton, will be held at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre in Crediton.  

The result is likely to be declared at about 4.30am on Friday, July 5, according to Mid Devon District Council. 

Tindle Deputy Editorial Director Jon Gripton said: “This is going to be a historic moment. 

“Our readers expect us to keep them fully briefed, informed and hopefully also entertained, and our reporters and editors will be right at the heart of the communities they serve, with live as-it-happens coverage.” 

The UK will go to the polls in a general election tomorrow, July 4, with polling stations open between 7am and 10pm across the country (though many have already voted using postal voting). For the first time at a general election, photo ID is required to vote, so don’t forget yours. 

Once the polls close at 10pm, volunteers will transport the ballot boxes to the counting venues, where the ballots will be verified and then counted before the result is announced. 

Elsewhere in Devon, Tindle colleagues from the Mid Devon Advertiser will be at the count for the Newton Abbot constituency at Newton Abbot Racecourse. This result is expected to be declared by 3.30am.  

Meanwhile, the South Devon constituency (formerly known as Totnes) is due to be declared between 3 and 4am. It will be counted at the Totnes Leisure Centre. 

The count for Torridge and Tavistock is being held at the Atlantic Racquet Centre in Bideford, with the result expected to be declared at 6am.  

Votes for South West Devon are being counted at the Life Centre in Plymouth. Our sister paper the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Gazette will be reporting from the count. No estimated time has been given for the result to be declared. 

The Tiverton and Minehead ballots will be counted at the Wellsprings Leisure Centre in Taunton. The result is expected at 4.45am.
