The Conservatives have held Surrey County Council with 47 of the total 81 seats in the 2021 local elections.
The party lost a seat to the Residents' Association in Guildford, while Independent Chris Farr also took a seat from the Conservatives. The Liberal Democrats won 14 seats, and Labour and the Green Party each secured two.
Across Surrey, councillors are being elected to dozens of seats on district and borough authorities, with results expected to come in later or over the weekend for Elmbridge, Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, Runnymede, Tandridge and Woking councils. The result of the poll for Surrey's police and crime commissioner is expected on Saturday.
In Redhill, counting is taking place at Donyngs Leisure Centre, with the entire building used to ensure social distancing. Returning officer Mari Roberts-Wood said the council had faced a "massive" and "all-consuming" effort, adding: "We are running three elections. We don't normally do that... But because we didn't have any elections last year, because of the pandemic, we are doing three."
