If asked, just ahead
of the polls, which candidates are standing in your area, what parties
they represent and what those parties stand for, would you know?
A survey of voters
in the 2004 local elections suggested that many people did not know
the name of the candidate they were voting for until they saw it on
the voting slip at the polling station.
The interactive map
details all the candidates in alphabetical order for each constituency
in ITV Central's West Midlands broadcast area.
There are links to
party websites and, for tactical voters, there is a record of how each
party fared in each constituency in 2001.
