SUSSEX DECIDES: ‘Busy’ polling day in Chichester constituency
AFTER POLLS closed at 10pm, ballots papers are being counted to see who will represent Chichester at the House of Commons from 2015-2020.
Andrew Tyrie is expected to hold the seat and it would be a national shock if he were to be unseated.
It appears there were no polling stations late to close, but the returning officer has said it had been a ‘busy day’ for many of the polling stations.
