Everything you need to know about Sheffield’s General Election 2019 candidates

Sheffield will go the the polls on Thursday, December 12 for the third General Election in four years.

A total of 35 candidates will contest the six seats in the city, with polls closing on Thursday, December 12 at 10pm.

Four of the city’s former MPs will stand again, with Paul Blomfield, Louise Haigh, Clive Betts and Gill Furniss contesting Sheffield Central, Heeley, South East and Hillsborough and Brightside respectively.

However, troubled former independent representative Jared O’Mara will not recontest Sheffield Hallam, and Penistone and Stocksbridge’s former Labour MP will this time be fighting the Antrincham and Sale West seat for the Lib Dems.

A full list of the candidates and all those who nominated them can be found at the Sheffield Council website here.
