Voters in Wrexham and Flintshire will head to the polls for the UK general election next Thursday (July 4, 2024).

Residents in the two counties will be choosing their next MP across four different constituencies following recent boundary changes.

These include the enlarged Wrexham and Alyn and Deeside seats, and the newly formed constituencies of Clwyd East and Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr.

Polls will close at 10pm on Thursday night, following which votes will be counted, with results pouring in through the night.

The PA news agency has created a guide containing estimated timings when constituency results are likely to be declared.

Boundary changes mean there is some uncertainty around these timings and the actual schedule may vary.

There are also sometimes delays in verifying and counting ballots, as well as hold-ups caused by recounts.

Full details on each constituency and the candidates standing can also be found below.
