Digby the dog waits at a polling station in Baildon
BRADFORD residents will today go to the polls for the first time since the beginning of the Covid pandemic. And the virus will cast its shadow over the election process - with increased safety measures and a delayed vote count. Residents in the Bradford District will have the chance to have their say on who represents them at Local Council elections, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority Mayoral election and in some areas, Town Council elections and Neighbourhood Plan referendums. The polling stations may look different this year to make them safe places to vote.
