RESIDENTS across Wrexham and Flintshire headed to the polls to cast their vote in the EU election.

Voters in Wrexham and Flintshire, along with the rest of Europe, have been making their choice as to who they want to represent them in the next European Parliament – for the time being at least.

The polling station in Abermorddu, between Mold and Wrexham, was quiet at around midday but the one in nearby Caergwrle appeared to be a little busier.

It has been an election campaign which has generated little enthusiasm among candidates or voters with the UK seemingly set for Brexit.

Due to EU voting rules which state that no results are to be announced while other countries are voting, the result will not be announced until the evening of Sunday, May 26, or early on Monday, May 27.

Eight parties are putting candidates forward for the election.

As a European region, Wales has four seats in the European Parliament.

The Leader will be covering the results on Sunday evening with a live blog will be running on the Leader website.
