The final ballot boxes have arrived at Guildford Spectrum and counting is under way. Early indications are that there has been a high turnout. This has been a safe Conservative seat since 2005, but a majority of over 22,000 in 2015 had dwindled to just over 3,000 in 2019. This is a key target seat for the Liberal Democrats and if the national exit polls are correct the Conservatives are very likely to be beaten into second place.
