General Election 2019: South Holland and the Deepings ballot boxes have arrived

Voting has now closed in the General Election 2019 and the first ballot boxes have started to arrive for the South Holland and the Deepings seat.

Residents have been heading into polling stations in towns and villages across the area to cast their vote in the first winter election in more than a century.

Martin Blake (Green), Sir John Hayes (Con), Davina Kirby (Lib Dem), Mark Popple (Lab) and Rick Stringer (Ind) have been campaigning for your votes over the last few weeks.

The Lincolnshire Free Press will be at the count in Springfields Exhibition and Conference Centre throughout the night and will be updating you.

Polling stations closed at 10pm and the first ballot boxes, mainly from Spalding, have begun to arrive to be counted.
