That this House believes the counting of votes cast for the General Election should be carried out without delay and constituency results announced as early as possible; further believes that public interest and engagement are better served by the immediate counting of ballot papers and enabling as many voters as possible to watch the results being announced; and calls on local authorities throughout the United Kingdom to ensure that all ballot papers are counted immediately after the close of polls on General Election night.
