Who are my Liverpool City Region local election candidates and where is my nearest polling station?

The Liverpool City Region is preparing for a bumper day of elections.

On May 6, people right across the region will be asked to vote in their local council elections, the Liverpool City Region Mayoral election and the Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner election.

In the city of Liverpool, residents will also be electing a new city mayor.

Voters will head to polling stations all over the region on May 6 to cast their votes - although most of the counting and results will be arriving the following day on Friday May 7.

And we won't find out the city region mayor or PCC results until Saturday May 8.

So there is a lot at stake and a lot to take in before these crucial elections.

But we can certainly help with some of that information using our special election tools.

We are working in partnership with InYourArea and Democracy Club who provide candidate information and polling station information for all elections.

Two widgets have been made which will list your candidates and polling stations near you when you type in your postcode.

Local election candidates

Candidates will appear as and when confirmed and uploaded by Democracy Club. Candidates appear in alphabetical order.

Polling stations

The second widget shows the local polling station information (if already known) and also postal voting information.

The polling stations will be updated as councils update them - we expect there may be some changes this year due to Covid.

Both of these widgets take you through to IYA where you can explore more local elections information.

More information will be added there as we get closer to the elections.
