Who is standing and where to vote

There is just over a week to go until the borough elects its three members of parliament (MPs).

There is also a by-election, in Northfield ward, following the resignation of Conservative Councillor Mark Reen. Voters living within this ward will be given two polling cards – one for the parliamentary election and one to elect a third councillor to represent them on Ealing Council. 

Residents will be able to vote at their registered polling station between 7am and 10pm on Thursday, 7 May.

The names of the candidates standing have been published for the parliamentary elections and the by-election.
