General Election 2024 – Candidate Q&As and profiles!
The upcoming General Election on Thursday July 4 will be the first fought under new constituency boundaries and a reduced number of Welsh Members of Parliament. That means a larger Wrexham constituency and thousands of local residents sharing their MP with people in mid-Wales, so we are now covering the new ‘Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr’ alongside coverage from MyWelshpool & MyNewtown for that area.
You can view a zoomable map here on OrdnanceSurvey.co.uk with the new boundaries to see if you are in Wrexham or a new constituency.
ELECTION DAY: 7am to 10pm, Thursday 4 July
Result: Wrexham is counted in Wrexham, and due around 1-3am. Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr is counted in Powys.
You will need photo ID to vote – more information on that can be found on https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-youll-need

Who is standing in the Wrexham constituency?
Seven candidates are vying to become Wrexham’s next Member of Parliament in the upcoming General Election.
Who is standing in the Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr constituency ?
Six candidates are set to fight it out to become the first ever Member of Parliament for the newly formed Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr.
The constituency covers large parts of mid Wales and includes thousands of registered voters and households in Wrexham.
It replaces the former Clwyd South ward – which has seen villages and towns effectively divvied up into either a larger Wrexham ward or the Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr.

Unlike the previous Clwyd South ward – where results were announced in Wrexham – the count for the new Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr constituency will take place in Powys.
