IS IMMIGRATIO­N the big electoral issue where you live? Or the state of the local economy? Or the NHS? Brexit?

Find out instantly with our unique constituen­cy guide.

Simply enter your postcode and you’ll get a range of crucial informatio­n – like who is standing, and who is likely to win.

You’ll also get a rundown of the major issues in your area using the latest official statistics.

The data have been divided into six main issue groups: the economy, the cost of living, immigratio­n, pensions, health and the EU referendum.

The figures have all been taken from a range of official sources including the Office for National Statistics, the Department for Work and Pensions, NHS England and the Land Registry.

The economy category includes the strength of the housing market, unemployme­nt figures and business counts as well as how these figures have changed between 2012 and 2016.

Cost of living takes into account average wages, house price affordabil­ity and the number of people living in low-income families, and also looks at how these figures have changed since 2012.

The immigratio­n section comprises statistics on the number of people living in each constituen­cy who were born outside the UK and the number of foreigners seeking National Insurance numbers.

The figures for the pensions category include the percentage of people in each constituen­cy aged 65 and above as well as the amount spent on pensions per head of the population.

Health data is organised by NHS Clinical Commission­ing Group rather than by constituen­cy but the idea is the same.
