Just after the AV result was announced, Returning Officer, Paul Hackney (the man in charge of the running of the election) kindly gave me a few minutes of his time.
We discuss the election process, turnouts, who has been counting votes and the importance of quick fingers.
We also spoke about council election & AV awareness , the shift of power in Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the atmosphere around the chambers.
Mr Hackney hopes a clear mandate will work to the advantage of the city and explains how he feels about elections by thirds being replaced by the four-year electoral system.
I would like to voice my own thanks and appreciation to not only Mr Hackney but to everyone involved in the elections and referendum in Stoke-on-Trent.
Check out the full audio interview below.
(First question cut off because of background noise. I asked about how long Paul had been at the Council buildings...)
