The candidates standing in Norfolk and Waveney in the General Election are now set in stone - after the deadline for nominations passed.
Some of the region's candidates have been in place for years, but prime minister Rishi Sunak's calling of an election on July 4 left parties scrambling to sort candidates into a number of seats.
However, the deadline for nominations to be filed passed at 4pm on Friday, with the lists published an hour later.
It means these are the final lists of those standing in the nine Norfolk constituencies, along with the candidates in the cross-border Waveney Valley seat and Suffolk's Lowestoft constituency.
