Shropshire's voters are split between five constituencies and all but one of the five seats are held by the Conservatives (Helen Morgan won North Shropshire for the Liberal Democrats in 2021).

There will be at least a few new faces representing the county in the next Parliament, whatever happens on election day - Lucy Allan and Philip Dunne, of Telford and Ludlow respectively, have already announced they are standing down after a combined 28 years as Shropshire MPs.

So who exactly is standing for which party, and where? It can be hard to keep up - so we're compiling all the names Shropshire residents will see on their ballot paper on election day. See the list below.
