The final list of candidates seeking your support at the General Election has been announced.
With just four weeks to go until the snap election on June 8, the people hoping to represent you in parliament are out campaigning for your vote.
There will be no votes for UKIP in Kirklees this year as the right wing party that sought to get Britain out of the European Union has not put up any candidates.
UKIP took thousands of votes from the mainstream parties in 2015, coming third place in all four constituencies. The news means it’s likely to be a straight fight between Conservative and Labour in all our areas.
In Calderdale, UKIP are standing candidates in the Calder Valley and Halifax, potentially taking thousands of votes away from the Conservatives.
Here’s the candidate list in full.
