Counting has started in Northern Ireland's council elections LE23
Counting of votes is set to begin later in Northern Ireland's council elections.
Polling stations closed at 22:00 BST on Thursday and ballot boxes were moved to the counting centres for the votes to be verified overnight. Sinn Féin fielded the most candidates with 162, followed by the Democratic Unionist Party with 152, the Alliance Party with 110, the Ulster Unionist Party with 101 and the SDLP with 86.
Some predict it may be punished in the polls for blocking the formation of a power-sharing government at Stormont in its protest against how post-Brexit trading arrangements affect Northern Ireland's constitutional position.
