Nominations for the General Election closed yesterday with official publication of all the candidates seeking votes on December 12.
Since the early announcements we have seen the Brexit Party withdraw all their candidates from Conservative-held seats, which means there are no Brexit Party candidates in Cornwall.
The Green Party also decided to step down in the North Cornwall constituency in an agreement with the Liberal Democrats.
And the full published nominations revealed that the Liberal Party will have a full set of candidates in all six Cornwall constituencies.
Over the next few weeks they will be stomping through the streets of Cornwall aiming to encourage you to vote for them.
