Wombling report, Day 2

We are two days into the biggest SOPN Party ever seen. Our team of wonderful data wombles will be spending their weekends reading PDFs and locking posts. What fun!

Unlucky 13

In the Isles of Scilly, one candidate on St Mary's will go home unhappy - there are 13 candidates to fill 12 seats. On three of the other islands, there will be no need for a vote - congratulations to Harry Francis Legg on St Agnes, Toby Tobin-Dougan on St Martin's and Robert Arthur Dorrien-Smith on Tresco for being the only candidates nominated in their respective parishes.

On Bryher, however, it seems nobody wants to be councillor. By-elections will continue until morale improves.

NOTA Candidate

In the Langdon Hills ward of Basildon, you can vote for "None of the above"... in the form of former boxer and electoral law campaigner Terry Marsh.
