Counting is under way at Westlands in Yeovil for the Yeovil constituency and the Glastonbury & Somerton constituency.

The hall is a hive of activity, as this timelapse video shows.

The Liberal Democrat candidate for North Somerset, Ash Cartman, says he's disappointed that he's likely to be trailing third place in the constituency.

However, he has found solace in the party's performance nationally, with exit polls suggesting the Lib Dems will increase their share to 61 seats. If accurate, that's a substantial increase on their more meagre haul of 11 seats in 2019.

But did you send yours back? Some 83.28% of postal voters in the constituency did, which means chances are you, you did!

I've just been chatting to Brian Connell, who has been involved in the Conservatives campaign for the Wells & Mendip Hills seat.

He said: "The seat can be very close between the Lib Dems and the Tories, but I fear that we might lose it.

"I'm really surprised at the amount of reform votes, and that's eating away at our share of the vote."

The Liberal Democrat candidate for Bridgwater, Claire Sully said: "This has been one of the best experiences of my life and I have really enjoyed it. I have put my heart and soul into it."

The Somerset councillor added: "winning the seat was always going to be a challenge for the Liberal Democrats."

In the 2019 result for the old Bridgwater and West Somerset constituency, the Liberal Democrats finished third.

Asked if he thinks he is safe in his own seat in North East Somerset & Hanham by Laura Kuenssberg, Jacob Rees Mogg said: "I will wait and see that the votes are being counted or at least verified whilst we speak.

"We will know in the early hours. As the Earl of Oxford and Asquith used to say, 'wait and see'."

The Labour candidate for Bridgwater, Leigh Redman says he has "worked as hard as I can" and the result is "on a knife edge."

Press officers tells me "30-40" reporters, camera people and producers have applied to attend tonight's count.

I'm not quite sure all of them are here, but there are representatives from all the big broadcasters, local and national media.

It's like a media village.

The fate of Jacob Rees-Mogg is something that people are waiting to hear about all over the country.

I've just been speaking to Helen Hims, the Reform Party candidate for the Wells & Mendip Hills.

She says it's "incredible" to think that Reform could get 13 seats if the exit poll is correct.

Ms Hims said: "It's clear that Tory voters, that have felt let down, have come to us and that's a great sign."

Asked if he thinks he is safe in his own seat in North East Somerset & Hanham by Laura Kuenssberg, Jacob Rees Mogg said: "I will wait and see that the votes are being counted or at least verified whilst we speak.

"We will know in the early hours. As the Earl of Oxford and Asquith used to say, 'wait and see'."

He added: "I have no inkling at this stage other than your exit poll."

Ballot boxes are coming in thick and fast for the Yeovil and Glastonbury & Somerton constituencies now.

Counting began at the stroke of 12, earlier today, because of all the postal votes. Naturally, the Yeovil ballot boxes are coming first as the count is at the Westlands Entertainment Venue.

No candidates have turned up yet, but it's a real hive of activity.

BBC analysis of the exit poll is suggesting that the Lib Dems could be in for a good night in Somerset making several gains.

A couple of the seats like Wells & Mendip Hills and Frome & East Somerset are listed as too close to call.

Bridgwater and Tiverton & Minehead could potentially be the only Conservative seats in Somerset by the end of the night.

Remember this is based on BBC analysis of the exit poll. It's a prediction.

Ballot boxes are arriving from the 61 polling stations in the constituency.

Boundary changes mean Bridgwater's new MP will no longer have the Hinkley Point C power station in their constituency as it transfers to Tiverton and Minehead.

Hello from the Bath & West Showground where the Wells & Mendip Hills and Frome & East Somerset counts are under way.

And good evening from the Hutton Moor Leisure centre sports hall...

This huge sports hall often hosts dance shows, dog shows, artisan markets and even a giant inflatable obstacle course that fills half the room, but tonight, it's ballot boxes and volunteer count staff.

So two counts for the price of one! We've got one constituency on each side of the hall, and special passes to get into each.
