The 61 candidates who are competing for thirteen Exeter City Council seats in this year’s local elections were declared on Monday. Campaign materials are already being stuffed through the city’s letterboxes thick and fast.
Many make startling statements about the achievements of the candidate or the political party they represent, while others feature eye-catching promises about what will be delivered if they are elected.
Help us hold Exeter’s politicians and political parties to account by sending us any election campaign materials you receive so we can factcheck claims and keep tabs on pledges after the votes have been counted on 2 May.
Simply take a photo of both sides of any leaflets or printed materials you would like to share and email them to
You can also forward campaign emails to the same address, or send links to social media posts you think might be stretching the truth or making promises that might not get delivered.
Thanks for your help in making Exeter’s local democracy more accountable.
