Left local election candidates (note)
All elections are council elections unless otherwise stated.
This list is as comprehensive as we can make it but if you know of left candidates from any party, or independents that we have not included please email and let us know to help ensure we do not accidentally leave anyone out.
Once full election results are in and our number crunchers have done their work we will be publishing a number of other pages breaking down the election results in a variety of ways.
