Votes are being counted following the first elections for the new town councils in Bournemouth, Poole and Broadstone.
Residents went to the polls on 7 May to elect 50 councillors across the three authorities.
A total of 184 candidates stood across 27 parish wards.
The new councils were created after a controversial decision by BCP Council in 2025.
The councils will oversee local services including parks, public toilets, allotments and community events.
Counting got underway at 10am.
