This is as far as I can tell almost universal information for any constituency where you might want to be in attendance at the vote count on election night.
All media for attendance at any count must apply in advance for listing with the Acting Returning Officer. Time is tight - as they are busy counting postal votes so photojournalists need to apply now or risk losing a great opportunity!!

Most councils have a contact on their website that takes you to election information and from there you should be able to get your name on the list.
Security is tight and if your name is NOT on the list, you are not going to get in.
If you have an email telling you are on the list...take it with you as extra proof of your listing along with your press card.

Have fun! It is going to be a long , long night!

Well it was a long, long night. Today I have been sleepwalking but have managed to stay upright. I must say the count was fun to cover and I had such great help from the crew at the count.
No great surprises at the end of the day.

Had some interesting shots though!
