SOUTHEND residents will go to the polls next month.
Every ward in the borough has candidates standing for a seat on the council. The elections were delayed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
But with restrictions easing and the rollout of the vaccination programme, the elections are going ahead on May 6 this year.
Below is a list of all candidates running in Southend, and links for further information on registering and voting in the election.
In most wards, one seat is up for grabs. However in St Luke's and Westborough, there are two because of a by-election.
