Voting and the count

The count for the three parliamentary constituencies is being held at Silksworth Community Pool, Tennis and Wellness Centre, SR3 1PD.

This is the same Sunderland venue that has hosted parliamentary counts for the last four general elections.

It regularly hosts city council election counts and has been a centre for Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner counts and declarations.

In May it was the regional returning centre for the North East Combined Authority mayoral election.

The electorate and number of postal voters for each of the constituencies at time of writing is:

• Houghton and Sunderland South, 77,645 electors with 32,303 registered for a postal vote
• Sunderland Central, 75,125 electors with 29,455 registered for a postal vote
• Washington and Gateshead South, 70,387 electors with 28,519 registered for a postal vote.

Voters going to a polling station must show photo ID, or have obtained a Voter Authority Certificate prior to election day.
