IMPORTANT: this is not an exact science, local information should be considered too

REMEMBER, the usual tactical voting websites have advice for General Elections ONLY.
NOT Local Elections.
The advice they give is for Parliamentary Constituencies, not Wards.
For Members of Parliament - MPs. Not for Councillors.
Always read the small print 🙌
Happy voting!
