Local Democracy Reporting Service
The results of the Hampshire County Council elections are expected to be announced on Friday afternoon.
All of the 78 seats at the county council are up for grabs as a county-wide election takes place every four years.
Two county council divisions - Leesland & Town (Gosport) and Fareham Town – will be asked to elect two councillors due to the size of the electorate.
The county council is currently made up of 55 Conservatives, 19 Liberal Democrats, one Labour councillor, one unaffiliated independent councillor, one Basingstoke & Deane Independent Group councillor and one Community Campaign Hart councillor.
