Thank you so much for spending the day with us for the results of the Welsh election.
There are still some results to come tomorrow but this is what we know so far:
Labour have won 30 members, half of the seats in the new Senedd
The Conservatives have won twelve, which is four up from 2016
Plaid Cymru have won nine
The Liberal Democrats have one seat
That's the picture after 52 of the 60 seats declared.
On Saturday we'll get the results for the eight regional seats in South Wales Central and South Wales East.
Labour needs 31 seats to form a majority government - but it is unlikely to pick up any more seats due to its success in the constituencies in those areas.
Could Labour win a majority with Mid and West Wales seats?
David Deans
BBC Wales politics reporter
Mid and West Wales is the last result we are expecting tonight - and it will be crucial in finding out if Labour need at least some opposition support, or whether it can govern alone.
Labour is expecting to hold the two regional seats it already had in mid Wales at a minimum, which would give it 30 Members of the Senedd.
A source says that a third seat is a possibility - something that would give them an outright majority of two.
Conservatives beat Plaid to regional seat by slender margin
Paul Martin
BBC Wales political reporter
The Conservatives have beaten Plaid Cymru to a second North Wales regional seat by a very slender margin.
The system allocates seats by dividing a party’s regional
list votes by the number of seats they have already won, plus one.
That meant Plaid picked up the first North Wales seat for
Llyr Gruffydd, then Conservative Mark Isherwood took the second, and Labour’s
Carolyn Thomas took the third.
Then, in the fourth division of votes, the Conservatives were just 21 votes ahead of Plaid, meaning Conwy council leader Sam Rowlands becomes an MS for
the Tories.
In 2016, UKIP won two regional seats in the north, and the
Tories and Plaid got one each.
The Abolish The Welsh Assembly Party had high hopes of
picking up a seat here but fell well short, polling just 7,960 votes.
That’s more than 5,000 short of the number they would have
needed to take the 4th seat.
Constituency seats round up
With the clock ticking past 23:00 we now have all of Wales' 40 constituencies declared.
Labour have won 27
The Conservatives have eight - up two from 2016
Plaid Cymru have five, one fewer than last time
The Liberal Democrats have zero having lost their only constituency seat
That's not it though.
We've also started getting in the results for the 20 regional seats although we won't get the full totals until tomorrow.

BreakingLabour HOLD Vale of Glamorgan
And the last of the 40 constituency seats - Vale of Glamorgan - has been declared.
Jane Hutt, an MS since 1999, held onto her seat with 18,667 votes.
She saw off Matt Smith for the Conservatives who came in second place with 15,397.
Ms Hutt's majority increased from 777 to 3,270.
Her constituency saw a 2.8% swing from the Conservatives to Labour.

FM aims for 'stable and progressive' government
Welsh Labour leader Mark Drakeford said he will “do whatever I can do” to ensure Wales has a “stable and progressive” government once the final results are in.
He told BBC Wales he would prefer to be in a position “where you have a government that is able to command a majority for the action that it needs to take on the floor of the Senedd”.
He said: "We will see how close we come to that.
“At the end of, probably, tomorrow, we will see what other parties have done in the election.
"Then without trying to rush a decision at this time on a Friday we’ll take a couple of days to make sure that we make the best decision that we can for Wales.”
Labour is currently expected to win at least 29 seats. It would need 31 to win control without assistance from other parties.

BreakingNorth Wales regional results declared
And we've got our second set of regional results in, this time for North Wales.
The Conservatives have won two seats: Mark Isherwood and Sam Rowlands.
Labour has won one seat: Carolyn Ann Thomas.
Plaid Cymru has won one seat: Llyr Huws Gruffydd.
BreakingSouth Wales West regional results declared
The South Wales West regional results are in.
The Conservatives have won two seats: Thomas Giffard and Altaf Hussain.
Plaid also have two: Sioned Ann Williams and Luke Fletcher.
Tories gain one seat on the regional list from 2016.
'Accidentally activated fire alarm' led to evacuation
A fire alarm was accidentally activated at the South Wales West count, prompting an evacuation, council officials have said.
Swansea's Brangwyn Hall has been given the all clear by the fire service, our reporter at the count reports.
What do the Tories think is behind the result?
Mark
Drakeford's incumbent Labour government has been a crucial factor in the Conservatives' election result, a Tory
source has said.
“That’s shown across the UK, not just Wales,” the source said.
“The incumbent government has had a bounce.”
The source said the Tories did not do well in a two horse race with Labour - and needed a third party to take votes off Labour.
They added that the Tories “just can’t cope with the numbers” that Labour can bring out.
The source also suggested that the Tory group in the Senedd had failed to take advantage of the Brexit vote.
“We didn’t capitalise on that,” they said.
In north Wales, the Tories say that the number of regional seats they win will depend on how many Tory constituency voters back Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party on the regional lists.
“In north Wales we are not bleeding to them as expected,” they said.

38 down... two to go

We've come to a bit of a lull in declarations.
Only two left to come - and they're neighbours: Cardiff West and the Vale of Glamorgan.
Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price says he has no plans to resign, despite his party's "disappointing" results.
The party has so far lost one seat and made no gains - although it has increased majorities in its heartland seats.
Earlier the party's Ceredigion MP said: “Is it a disappointing result so far? Yes, of course."
But Mr Price said he had no plans to step down.
"I'm not walking away from anything, because this is the moment when Wales needs leadership," he said.
"We can move our nation forward, and I'm looking forward to playing my part, it's not something that anyone can do on their own.
"I have a role to play, we all have a role to play and that's what's exciting about politics at the moment.
"Wales is on the move, Wales is on the march. I'm going to be part of that."
North Wales regional results expected tonight
Only two constituency results left to come tonight.
Then come the regional declarations.
We already know we won't hear from three of them this evening.
But we are now expecting to get the results for the North Wales list at about 21:45.
Time for another coffee?
Mark Drakeford: 'A bit nerdy... but thank God for him'
Re-elected Labour Llanelli MS Lee Waters has been giving his thoughts on his leader Mark Drakeford.
He said Mr Drakeford was "definitely an asset to the ticket".
Mr Waters said he thought there was a "recognition that he may not be flashy, he may be a bit nerdy, a bit boring, he's a university professor, but thank God for him".
