THE full list of 141 candidates who will fight to take the 30 Bradford Council seats up for grabs next month has officially been announced.
The local elections on May 5 will see a third of seats in the Council chamber contested - one for each of Bradford's 30 wards.
Bradford, like many Councils, operates on an election cycle that sees every Councillor face re-election every four years.
For three of the four years there is an election for one of the three seats in each Council ward, while the fourth year is election free.
This year's election will also see two referendums on the ballot.
People in Ilkley and Oxenhope will be asked their opinion on the newly drafted local plans for those two respective areas of the District.
The main four parties with seats on Bradford Council, the leading Labour group, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Green Party, are fielding candidates in most wards.
The wards with the most candidates competing for the single seat are Keighley West and Shipley, where seven candidates will be pleading with residents for their vote.
Just two candidates will be fighting for the single seat in the City ward.
