    Just wondering if there is only somewhere a schedule where they say when they announce the results?

    thanks

    I'm watching Sky News. From what others are saying, I think you'll get the clearest coverage on Sky.

    The "Returning Officer" you see reading out the election results is usually the Chief Executive of the Local Authority relative to that constituency.

    The R/O is also in charge of the organisation responsible for, er, organising things in the way we're now seeing in so many places tonight. . .

    I know a few Returning Officers. The likely salary of those in the middle of tonight's disastrous mishandling will exceed £100,000 per annum.

    Just a thought.

    The returning officer is a seperate duty with a seperate fee which can be into 5 figures.
