Who can I vote for in Runcorn and Helsby?

Runcorn and Helsby is a new constituency created for the 2024 general election.

People across the country will vote on July 4 in the first general election of 2019. The Labor Party is flying high in the opinion polls, with many people expecting Keir Starmer to become Prime Minister.

This election will see many new constituencies contested for the first time, following a review of boundaries last year. One of the newly created constituencies is Runcorn and Helsby, which covers part of Halton and Cheshire West & Chester.
