2011 Election Candidates
The list below shows the two or three major candidates in each seat. A third party candidate is shown below only if a poll has shown they have a realistic chance of winning the seat and/or are a current MP.
A spreadsheet with a fuller list of electorate candidates and party lists is here – All 2011 Election Candidates
If a candidate/MP has a personal website, I’ve linked it to their name.
If for any electorate you know the name of a missing candidate, and/or a website address for a candidate, you can e-mail that info to me for updating.
