Voters set to go to the polls across Lincolnshire and Rutland for the 2024 General Election
Voters are heading to the polls today (Thursday) — as the race to pick the area’s next set of MPs now rests in the hands of the public.
Electors across Lincolnshire and Rutland will have a chance to make their voice heard and pick the people they want to represent them in Parliament for the coming years.
The Conservative Party is defending a strong position in this General Election — having held all of Lincolnshire seats after the 2019 election, some of which are seen as being among the ‘safest’ held by the Tories in the whole country.
This time around there’s a slight change to the electoral map — with new Rutland and Stamford and Grantham and Bourne seats having been created. They replace the Rutland and Melton and Grantham and Stamford seats.
If you’re undecided on who to vote for, there’s still a chance to read the candidates’ pitch for your votes below:
South Holland and the Deepings
Corby and East Northamptonshire
The full list of candidates in all of the area’s other seats can be found here.

Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm. More information about where to vote can be found via the Where Do I Vote? website.
ID will also be required when you go to vote. Details of which forms you can take along can be found from the Electoral Commission.
Reporters will be out at counts across the area tonight — with live updates as the results come in from Lincolnshire and Rutland. Most results are expected to be declared between 3am and 5am.
