Yorkshire & Humber turnout in EU Elections almost unchanged on 2014 at one-third of possible electorate

European Election count underway in Leeds

Turnout across the region in this year's European Union Parliamentary election remains almost unchanged on the 2014 figure.

More than a million people voted across 'Yorkshire and the Humber', one of twelve UK constituencies in this election.

Polling took place on Thursday (May 23), but the count is only taking place today because of ongoing polls across the continent.

Verification figures published this evening, ahead of the declaration which is expected just after 10pm, show a turnout of 1,296,514 in Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

That equates to 33.52 per cent of the possible electorate.

Party votes for each of the 19 counts across the region will be used to work out how to award the six MEP seats available:

  • Barnsley: 49,718 / 27.98%

  • Bradford: 112,939 / 32.00%
