The candidate lists are available only after the close of nominations, which is at a different time at different types of election.
We will put the candidates lists on this web site as soon as possible, as well as publish the formal printed notices and supply information to the local press.
Many candidates distribute leaflets giving information about themselves and why you should vote for them. They sometimes call at households to talk to electors, and occasionally there are local public meetings at which one or more candidates answer questions.
If you want more details about the candidates and their policies you may need to contact their relevant political parties.
You can find a list of links to the political parties on the Number 10 website via the link to the right.
