With the potential for a May election we started our campaign in late January and early February by delivering over 40,000 booklets to homes across the constituency.
New constituency boundaries
The Boundary Commission has reviewed the Parliamentary Constituency boundaries to try to ensure that there is a more consistent number of electors in each seat. For Ashford this has resulted in a dramatic change in the boundary with Hawkinge, and much of the Downs, now included in the seat.
Consensus - Now registered
We have registered a party called ‘Consensus’ with the Electoral Commission. This helps us because independent candidates are more restricted with campaign spending than those standing for parties.
