We’ll be tweeting and posting up to date information throughout the day and are hoping to attend the count declaration for Longbridge & Weoley in the early hours, to bring you immediate reaction from the candidates.
The best way to track today’s events is on twitter, but don’t worry if you “don’t do twitter”, read on!
If you use twitter, then you should definitely be following a few people and hashtags today if you want to keep up to date with election news and, later, results.
Twitter accounts to follow:
- @b31blog – obviously, the best and most entertaining local news source on twitter! *cough*
- @politicsinbrum
- @bccnewsroom
- @bbcwmelections
Twitter hashtags to follow:
- #brumvotes2011 for a local picture
- #LE2011 and LE11 for a broader picture
Birmingham City Council media office will also be live blogging results from around the city as they come in and you can keep tabs on news and results here:Â http://elections.birmingham.gov.uk/ and follow their live blog and join in the conversation here:Â http://tinyurl.com/6av462v
If you’re not on twitter, and don’t want to join (although we’d love to see you there!), we’ve added an updating widget here so you can view live tweets using the #brumvotes2011 hashtag
