Boxes arriving at Omagh Leisure Complex
The first ballot boxes from Fermanagh South Tyrone have arrived at Omagh Leisure Complex and counting of votes for the Westminster general election is underway.
Polls closed at 10pm in the hotly contested race with Fermanagh South Tyrone predicted to record the highest turnout of the night.
Bookies have made Sinn Fein’s Michelle Gildernew the favourite as she seeks to unseat sitting Unionist MP Tom Elliott after only two years in the job.
Ms Gildernew earlier admitted she was feeling “a bit nervous” as she cast her vote.
Also in the running are the SDLP’s Mary Garrity, Alliance’s Noreen Campbell and the Green Party’s Tanya Jones.
Stayed tuned for updates throughout the night.
