Swindon is one of the West of England’s key election battlegrounds between the Conservatives and Labour, but it is also a key indicator for how the country votes overall. In every election since 1983 the Wiltshire town has consistently chosen MPs of the party which ends up in government.

Since 1997, the town has been split into two constituencies - North and South - which have continued that form for picking the party which ends up in power.

But what is it about the town which makes it such a reliable predictor of how the nation feels, known as a ‘bellwether’ seat?

More from Dan here.

I'm Sophie Parker, I'm at the count for South West Wiltshire overnight.

It's happening at Wiltshire Council's County Hall.

The boundaries for this constituency have actually stayed the same for this election, unlike the rest of Wiltshire. There are towns, but also swathes of countryside.

It was created as it is now in 2010 and has been held by Conservative Andrew Murrison since then - there are seven candidates this time, including Dr Murrison.

I'm at the count for North Swindon in the STEAM - the museum of the Great Western railway.

Votes for the South Swindon constituency being counted here as well.

There's a significant chance both seats could be taken from the Conservatives by Labour. The result for Swindon North should be in by 2 am. The first ballot box is expected within minutes.

Welcome to live coverage of the general election in Wiltshire.

We have reporters at every count and will bring you the latest throughout the night.

There's two things to remember about elections in Swindon: They count them fast, and the town almost always predict the national result. Swindon is one of the UK's bellwether towns.

So when we get those early results from Swindon South and Swindon North, will we have a good idea of what is going to happen nationally?

There's lot of other key battles across the county, with some changed boundaries to add to the mix, too.

We'll have more on those battles and sub plots from our reporters soon.

As well as live coverage on this page, our colleagues at BBC Radio Wiltshire are on air all night. Adam Crowther is on now and you can listen live at the top of this page.

Polling booths are still open across the West of England. Once they close at 10pm, we'll have live results coverage here.

We will have dozens of reporters out across the area at every count.

You will also be able to listen to live coverage from your BBC Local Radio station at the top of this page.
