Devon County Council elections – all the candidates, all the wards, all the key dates

Devon goes to the polls on Thursday 1 May to elect members of Devon County Council, even though the council may cease to exist soon.

The council is the only complete authority holding elections, although by-elections are taking place on the same date in Exeter.
Devon is on the brink of the biggest local government reorganisation for decades, and will almost certainly be disbanded in its current form in the next couple of years.
The government wants to streamline local authorities, which means ending the current structure in which seven district councils – and Exeter City Council – sit under the county council.
In its place will come a smaller number of larger ‘unitary’ councils such as those currently in place in Plymouth and Torbay. Conservative-led Devon County Council had asked to postpone the elections while it dealt with the shake-up, a move turned down by the government.
This Friday is the last day for voters to register, while postal vote applications must be in by 5pm on Monday 14 April. Proxy vote applications must be made by 5pm on Wednesda 23 April.
Here is a full list of the candidates standing for election to Devon County Council next month.
