The announcement of a general election on 4 July means that all parties are now preparing for their campaigns. In the next six weeks, manifestos will come out, candidates will be knocking on doors and we will be inundated with information.
Are you prepared? Do you know enough about the voting system? Do you understand what the parties’ policies mean? Our Simple Politics Guide has information you may find useful.
And more importantly, are you registered to vote? If not, you can register here.Central Bylines will be scrutinising the candidates and the campaigns and covering the local angles. Watch out for contributions from our excellent volunteer citizen journalists. If you want your voice to be heard and contribute an article, please email editor@centralbylines.co.uk
