Election results to hit the big screen

In a new innovation for 2004, the council will be showing the results on a big TV screen in the Assembly Hall throughout the night, as well as on the council website www.worthing.gov.uk/election.

As results come in from each ward a summary page on the screen and website will be updated so that the public can see either in-person or from the comfort of their own home who has been elected to represent them. A full breakdown of the votes

will also be available.

A council spokeswoman said: "With borough ward boundaries changed for the first time in many years election night on Thursday, June 10 will be an exciting and tense time for all! With 37 seats up for grabs - one more than previously - there is no knowing what the results will tell."

Election Day is on Thursday, June 10 with voting hours 7.00 a.m. until 10.00

p.m.voters will have the opportunity to not only have their say in the

running of their town but also to vote in the European elections - details

also on the web.

The results of the local elections will be announced as soon as they are

counted on the Thursday whilst the European papers will only be verified

that night and counted the following Sunday again in the Assembly Hall from

6pm until 9pm.
