The result in Littletons was a tie between Hannah Robson and Liz Williams. Electoral law in the United Kingdom requires the Returning Officer to decide between candidates by lot in the event of a tie. [27] In this case, one of the two candidates' names was drawn at random from a box, and Robson was returned. The official declaration shows the winning candidate having one extra vote in the event of a tie. [28] On 25 June, Williams lodged an election petition with the High Court alleging undue interference and fraud. [29]
