On Thursday, May 2, a total of 75 candidates will be contesting 40 seats across the District Electoral Areas in the Derry City & Strabane.

Voting takes place between 7 am and 10 pm.

Across Derry city and Co Derry there are five constituencies.

In Ballyarnett, 11 candidates are fighting for six seats.

Over in Foyleside, nine candidates are bidding for five seats.

In The Moor. 11 people are vying for five seats.

In Faughan, five seats are available for the ten candidates standing.
