Merseyside goes to the polls today for a crucial round of local elections that will decide who holds power across our region.
Voters across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley and Wirral will today choose who they want to represent them at a local level and make decisions about the local issues that matter most to them.
Voting will take place throughout today (Thursday) for local elections in our region, but different councils will be counting votes and declaring results at different points throughout Thursday night and Friday.
