  1. Boston and Skegness count: Does size matter?

    Alex Rhodes
    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    I was a little taken aback when I arrived to cover the count for the Boston and Skegness seat.

    As my BBC vehicle is just a bit smaller than some of the other media vans I felt a little insecure.

    But size doesn't matter does it?

  2. Exit polls looks at possible hung parliament

    Like every other part of the country our local politicians will be reeling from the exit poll which predicts a hung parliament.

    Ahead of the 22:00 BST poll most of the talk in Yorkshire was about Labour hanging on to seats like Halifax, Dewsbury and Scunthorpe.

    The exit poll suggests that Labour could not only hang retain these seats but instead win seats like Morley and Outwood and Keighley back from the Conservatives

    Spare a thought for the thousands of men and women across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire who are working to ensure every vote is counted tonight.

    From returning officers and stewards to the army of people who'll count each and every ballot paper.

    You could say they're the unsung heroes of the electoral world.
