The runners and riders for the six Oxfordshire constituencies in the May 5 General Election have been declared.

Candidates had until 4pm on April 19 to hand over their £500 deposit to the returning officer at the relevant district council responsible for overseeing the count.

Some English Democrat candidates had to pull out of the race at the eleventh hour because they could not raise the deposit. The party had hoped to field candidates in at least three county seats, but their sole representative is Gerald Lambourne in Wantage.
