Voters will go to the polls on 4 July for the General Election. The UK is divided into 650 constituencies, with Redbridge covered by four of them: Ilford North, Ilford South, Leyton and Wanstead and Chingford and Woodford Green.
The Wanstead Village Directory presents statements from all eight candidates standing in the Leyton and Wanstead constituency, which has been expanded following a boundary review in 2023. The whole of the Wanstead Park and South Woodford wards – parts of which were previously within Ilford North or Chingford and Woodford Green – are now included. The revised boundary means an additional 3,900 households are now voting for the Leyton and Wanstead MP.
Polling stations open at 7am and close at 10pm, and for the first time in a general election, photo ID is required to vote in person.
