Correction to verification figure for the Parliamentary Election to the Islington North Constituency

The total verified ballot papers announced earlier today, Friday 7 May, was inaccurate and has subsequently been corrected from 43,654 to 44,688. This changes the turnout figure for that constituency from 64.1% to 65.62%. This does not affect the accuracy of the calculation of the votes cast for the individual candidates nor the outcome of the election.
