Polling stations opened this morning at 7.00am and will remain open until 10.00pm for residents to cast their ballots in the Lancashire County Council elections. The County Councillors are one step up from District Councillors and oversee larger projects which affect the county as well as the borough.
You do not need your polling card to vote, just turn up to your nearest polling station and give your name and address. If you have a postal voting form but have not sent it off then you can take that to a polling station too.
All residents are urged to use their vote as only 23% of people actually take part in local elections and the Hyndburn Labour Group are trying to get this figure up and engage with local people. Cllr Miles Parkinson is the Rishton representative and is strongly supported as preferred choice by the three Rishton Councillors and MP.
The count will take place at Hyndburn Sports Centre tomorrow morning and results should be known by lunchtime.
