By Nathan Louis Last updated: Today is the day we find out who has been selected to stand as a councillor across Hertsmere and Hertfordshire. - The count is underway at the Radlett Centre as part of the 2021 local elections with candidates nervously waiting to find out if they have received enough support to represent residents for the next four years. - A number of seats are up for grabs across Borehamwood, Elstree, Shenley, Radlett, Bushey, and Potters Bar, as well as across the rest of Hertfordshire. - Counting has been delayed until today - on advice from Hertfordshire's director of public health in Hertfordshire Jim McManus. Ballot boxes have essentially been 'quarantined' for 24 hours in order to reduce the risk of any transmission of coronavirus from the ballot papers to counters.
