ballot-boxVOTING is underway in Derry for the Assembly election.
The electorate will be casting their votes to elect MLAs to the constituencies of Foyle and East Derry.
This time around only five MLAs will be elected to the constituencies.
 
Polling stations opened at 7 am and will close at 10 pm.
Once the polls close tonight, the votes will then be moved to counting centres.

The Foyle Arena at St Columb’s Park will be used to count votes for Foyle and East Derry.

It will be closed to the public for a number of days this week to facilitate the counting process.

The public are being encouraged to use the Council’s other leisure facilities across the Council area including Templemore Sports Centre, Brooke Park Leisure Centre and City Baths, Derry; Melvin Leisure Centre and Riversdale Leisure Centre, Strabane and Derg Valley, Castlederg, during this period.

St Columb’s Park will also be closed to the public from the Limavady Road entrance with no access to the area from Browning Drive.

Fencing will be erected to close off walkways to the Limavady Road entrance from within the Park.

Counting will begin on Friday and the first results are expected by lunchtime.
