Thousands of Barnet residents are expected to cast their vote for London Mayor and Greater London Assembly (GLA) members on Thursday to help determine the future of the city.

More than a quarter of a million people, or 91 per cent of households, are registered to vote in the borough, with 5,400 adding their name to the list in the past four months.

They will have the choice of nine GLA candidates for Barnet and Camden.

If turnout is as big as expected, Barnet residents could also prove critical in determining the result of the mayoral election, with Conservative Boris Johnson and Labour Ken Livingstone heading for the finish line neck-and-neck.

In addition to the GLA and mayoral elections, Hale residents will also have the opportunity to choose their next ward councillor from one of five candidates: Labour's Alex Brodkin, BNP's Stephen Curry, Conservative's Tom Davey, Liberal Democrat's Geoffrey Jacobs and Green's Andrew Newby.

The count will take place on council premises in the North London Business Park, in Oakleigh Road South, Whetstone. Results are expected to be announced at Palm Court in Alexandra Palace, Wood Green, at 10am on May 2.

Details of polling stations to be announced shortly.
