Polling stations in Wiltshire have closed after local elections took place across the country.

A third of seats were up for grabs in Swindon Borough Council, though there were no council elections happening in the rest of the county.

This means that most, though not all, Swindon residents had a chance to have their say at the polls.

People across Wiltshire have been voting for their new police and crime commissioner (PCC), who oversees the strategic direction of the force and sets its force budget.
