The election count was carried out at the Salford Community Stadium and the results were announced by (Acting) Returning Officer Tom Stannard from 4.25am onwards.
This was the first General Election when constituency boundary changes across the country came into effect following a national review in 2023. The Salford constituency is made up of entirely Salford wards.
The Worsley and Eccles constituency includes districts from Wigan Borough’s Astley Mosley Common area that form part of Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council.
Four Salford City Council wards are now included in two other parliamentary constituencies:
Little Hulton, Walkden North and Walkden South is under the jurisdiction of the Bolton South and Walkden constituency.
The verification, count and declaration for these constituencies is facilitated by Bury and Bolton councils respectively. These results will be on the Bury council and Bolton Council websites.
These boundary changes only relate to parliamentary constituencies, the area an MP is elected to represent in Parliament. They don’t affect local authority boundaries so services such as bin collections remain the same and residents in these four wards continue to pay council tax to Salford City Council.
