ELECTION counts will be taking place throughout the night and into Friday morning with many Worcestershire constituencies expected to declare in the early hours.

People will have up until 10pm to cast their vote in the general election on Thursday (July 4) and then the job of counting those votes and declaring the county's MPs begins.

With 650 constituencies to be declared and final results not due until around 6am, it can be a long wait to find out who your new representative will be.

To help ease that wait, every constituency in Worcestershire has been listed below with their expected announcement time.

Bromsgrove

Expected declaration time: 3.45am

Former chancellor and health secretary Sajid Javid has held this seat since 2019, but opted to step down in December 2022. Bromsgrove declared at 3.08am in 2019, but is expected to be one of the last in the county to announce its new MP this year.

Droitwich and Evesham 

Expected declaration time: 3am

Formerly known as Mid Worcestershire, this constituency was renamed after the periodic review of Westminster boundaries in 2023. The Tories have held since the introduction of Mid Worcestershire as a constituency in 1983.

Redditch

Expected declaration time: 3.45am

Despite being the first Worcestershire seat to declare in 2019, Redditch's result isn't expected until the same time as Bromsgrove and one of the last in the county. The constituency will to expand to the north and south at this election, but will remain the smallest electorate in the county with 69,775 voters.
