General Election: high turnout in FABS

The turnout for voting in the Filton and Bradley Stoke Constituency has been provisionally announced as 70.1%.

With 69,008 eligible voters, that suggests that over 48,400 votes were cast.

We are hearing (unofficially) that Jack Lopresti (Conservative) has already reached 16,000 counted votes with the Lib Dem and Labour candidates having about 9,000 each.

Now that Conservative Jack Lopresti has arrived at the count, the eight candidates have just been invited to inspect spoilt papers.
