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.
Ealing Central and Acton Candidates
This seat was newly created in 2010 replacing Ealing Acton and Shepherd's Bush. Previously held by Labour, it became a tight three-way marginal and in 2010 was won by Angie Bray from the Conservatives with a 3,716 majority.
Ealing North Candidates
Stephen Pound has represented the constituency for 18 years after replacing Harry Greenway in 1997.
Ealing Southall Candidates
In the last 2010 General Election, Labour's Virendra Sharma was voted in with 22,024 votes - 51.51% majority.
Northfield Ward Candidates
Counting of the votes for the Ealing Central and Acton, Ealing North, and Ealing-Southall constituencies will begin soon after the polling stations close; with results to be declared overnight.
Where is my polling station?
There is a map of the appropriate polling station on the back of each polling card. If anyone is unsure of the location of their polling station they can use a polling station finder on the council’s website. A list of the locations is also available.
