THE boxes in the local and European elections have been opened at count centre in the TF Royal Hotel and Theatre in Castlebar.
Tallying is currently underway for the Castlebar Local Electoral Area, with early figures suggesting that most sitting county counciilors will command a strong vote in this year's elections.
Early indications suggest that 2019 poll-topper Michael Kilcoyne (Independent) will be comfortably re-election.
Notably, the Sinn Féin vote appears to be lower the anticipated. The party is running Donna Hyland and Maura O'Sullivan in the Castlebar Electoral Area. No other outside candidate has yet emerged as a potential condenter .
