General election - Wiltshire candidates confirmed

The formal notice called statement of persons nominated, notice of poll and situation of polling stations notices in the general election for each of the Wiltshire constituencies has been published.

The notices, which detail the candidates standing for election, can be found on our website.

Wiltshire is made up of five parliamentary constituencies. The constituency people vote in may have changed since the Parliamentary Boundary Review, which comes into force for this election.

The five parliamentary constituencies in Wiltshire are:

• Chippenham
• East Wiltshire
• Melksham and Devizes
• Salisbury
• South West Wiltshire

As a result of the boundary changes, the South Cotswolds constituency, administered by Cotswold District Council, includes electors from the Wiltshire Council local authority area. Electors who vote in the new South Cotswold Constituency will be sent poll cards and postal votes from Cotswold District Council. The constituency includes the following electoral divisions of Wiltshire - Brinkworth, By Brook, Cricklade and Latton, Kington, Malmesbury, Minety, Purton, and Sherston. Similarly, there are also some Swindon Borough Council authority area-based residents that are now part of the East Wiltshire constituency. A map of the new constituencies can be found at https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/interactive-map/ (opens new window).
