| Description | The 26 candidates in the Haltemprice and Howden by-election will not share a stage at the count after fears it could collapse under their combined weight.
Election results are normally announced from a temporary stage at the Haltemprice Leisure Centre.
But the candidates in Thursday's poll will stand on the floor in a semi-circle around a small platform with the returning officer on it.
Voting is under way in the contest with polls closing at 2200BST.
The contest was triggered the resignation of Conservative MP David Davis.
A record 26 candidates are standing.
