Police Scotland have been called to a count in Glasgow to investigate potential electoral fraud.

The force was called to the count to remove three ballot papers after suspected “personation” was reported by the returning officer. Personation is when there have been two attempts to vote using the same voter ID.

Initially, police officers only requested one ballot paper, but they later returned to request another two.

There was minimal disruption to the count, as officers were able to pinpoint the polling station that the votes were cast at.

All six constituencies in Glasgow are expected to be won by Labour from the SNP.

Labour is braced for a landslide election victory tonight – and it suggests the party is likely to be in power for more than a decade.

This evening’s exit polls have put the party on course for a 170-seat majority, with the SNP expected to be reduced to just 10 seats in Scotland.

Labour is expected to pick up 410 seats, while the Tories are on course for 131.

Labour sources have said the party expects to be the largest party in England, Scotland and Wales – the first party to do so in 23 years.
