A by-election will be held in Chester in just over a month’s time to find a replacement for the city’s disgraced MP who resigned last week.
The seat was previously held by Labour’s Chris Matheson, who stood down after being found guilty of sexual misconduct.
The by-election will be held on 1st December 2022. A formal notice of election will be issued on Friday, alongside further information for nominated candidates and agents.
The deadline to register to vote is 15th November 2022. This is for people not already listed on the electoral register for the constituency.
Residents can register to vote by visiting: www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
It only takes five minutes and all you need is your National Insurance number – this can be found on your national insurance card, or in official paperwork such as payslips, or letters about benefits or tax credits.
When you register, you can apply to vote by post (no reason required) or by proxy (reason required).
