A by-election to decide his replacement in the Tamworth constituency – which includes areas in Lichfield District such as Fazeley, Stonnall, Little Aston, Hopwas and Shenstone – will take place on 19th October.

People living in the constituency will begin to receive polling cards from 23rd September.

The deadline for residents living in the Tamworth constituency area to register to vote in the by-election is 3rd October if they are not already on the register or have recently moved.
