Greater Manchester Voters Cast Ballots to Elect Successor to Andy Burnham
Polling stations opened across the region on Thursday following the resignation of Andy Burnham after his election to Parliament. Labour candidate Bev Craig is campaigning to secure the mayoral seat. Some analysts view the contest as a test of the new national government. Voters are utilizing the Supplementary Vote system for this election. This method allows for both a first and second choice candidate on the ballot. It differs from the first-past-the-post system used in other UK elections. Residents have until 10:00 PM to vote despite national political distractions.
