Voting in the Greater Manchester mayoral election has taken place, and attention now turns to when results will be announced. Multiple outlets report that the result timetable points to an announcement on Friday, 31 July, with outcomes expected during the afternoon. Coverage also addresses the question of whether an exit poll will be published. While one outlet explicitly raises whether an exit poll exists for the Greater Manchester mayoral contest, the overall information provided does not confirm a specific exit-poll provider or whether a poll will definitely be released. As a result, details remain limited in the sources available here, including the timing of any potential exit poll publication versus the official result announcement. The key point across reporting is the expected afternoon window for results on 31 July, while the presence and timing of any exit poll is not clearly established in the information supplied. Further updates from election officials and major broadcasters would be expected to clarify whether an exit poll is planned and, if so, when it will be released.
