Turnout Up In Stormont Election

Counting is underway in Northern Ireland’s snap assembly election.

Overall turnout stands at over 64% – that’s up from 55% last year.

The largest was for the home of the new Sinn Fein Leader Michelle O’Neill, as 13% more people turned out in Mid Ulster.

But the battle between the largest parties will be hotly contested, as 18 seats have been cut for the new Assembly.
