With local government elections in Northern Ireland set to take place later this month, nominations have now closed and we know which candidates we can vote for across the eleven council areas.
In the Mid Ulster District Council area, 66 candidates will compete across seven district electoral areas to elect 40 councillors to represent the public in the local authority for the next term.
One of the key talking points in the council area will be the increased number of independent Republican candidates and their battle with Sinn Féin.
