By Jordi Bou

July 4, 2024 - A total of 4,515 candidates are standing for election in the UK’s 650 parliamentary constituencies on July 4.

It means that the election sees a 35.7% increase on the 2019 poll.

The increase primarily comes from Reform UK ending its promise not to stand against Conservatives, the Green Party standing more candidates and the Workers Party of Britain entering its first general election.
