These will be the names on the ballot papers when voters in part of Northumberland head to the polls this month.
Electors in the Seghill with Seaton Delaval constituency will be offered the choice between the Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green parties in a by-election on March 24.
The seat had been held by Conservative Councillor Paul Scott from last year's local election until his sudden death at the age of 46 in January.

The Conservatives lost majority control of the council at Northumberland's last by-election, in December, though they remained the county's largest single party. The result of this by-election won't change that, although a loss would further reduce Conservative control in the county.
These are the candidates locals will be able to vote for:
Eve Chicken: Conservative
A Conservative spokesperson said: "Eve is a life long resident of Seaton Valley. She lives in the ward and is passionate about making the area the very best it can be.
"Eve is a local businesswoman who works in Seaton Delaval as a sports massage therapist. In 2021 Eve was elected to Seaton Valley Community Council, representing Seghill with Seaton Delaval. She topped the poll of the six candidates contesting this election."
Eve said: "I am standing for the county council seat as I want to do as much as I can to make Seghill and Seaton Delaval great place to live. I am running a campaign based on local issues, making sure our streets are clean, pot holes are filled and action is taking on dog fouling and inconsiderate parking.
"I am proud that the council have made great strides in furthering the Northumberland line including a new station at Seaton Delaval. I will be active in making sure local residents well-being is at the forefront during construction of the station.
"Finally having campaigned on the matter I am pleased that local middle schools are not being merged."
Alisdair Lindsey Gibbs-Barton: Liberal Democrat
A Liberal Democrat spokesperson said: "Alisdair is an experienced campaigner and was a district councillor for many years. He now runs a successful small business."
Alisdair added: 'I am really pleased to have been chosen to stand in the by election because I believe the Conservatives in county hall have lost touch with residents and spend more time arguing with each other, rather than concentrating on delivering the services residents, especially those in Seghill and Seaton Delaval, deserve.
"I want to see more money spent on road maintenance, public transport and play areas. I also think a good working relationship with the community parish council is vital.
“The council sometimes forgets about the smaller places here in the south east part of the county. I want to make sure the residents of Seghill and Seaton Delaval have a strong voice to speak up for them and get them their fair share of investment and services.
“The rise in this year's council tax of over 4% i s proof that the Conservatives don’t really understand what effect the cost of living crisis is having on hard-pressed working families and I would never support such a steep rise.”
Clive Robson: Green
Clive said: "I’m a local resident with a strong social and environmental conscience. I’ve been a passionate environmentalist for over 50 years, and I’m driven to ensure the local community will be best represented to secure the availability of critical local resources in the most sustainable way possible.
"Having lived in the area for 25 years, I’ve worked at Astley High School in Seaton Delaval and with various local industries, predominantly in Environmental Management.
"I've been a volunteer with the local Food Pantry since it started up early last year. I’ve campaigned on a number of wildlife habitat issues across Northumberland and been instrumental in forming two local conservation groups to support our local nature reserves.
"I have strong family links with Seghill Rugby Club. This, and my residency in the area, drives me to want to ensure we’re prepared for the impact of Climate Change.
"In the immediate future I see this as working with the other Greens on Northumberland County Council to deal with the expected increases in energy costs seeking to minimise the impact on low income homes. I also see the need for improved public transport links improving jobs and recreational opportunities in the area."
Christine Savage: Labour
A Labour spokesperson said: "Christine has served her community as a school governor at Astley, and at the Seghill Chapel where she was part of the Friday Club team. More recently, she worked with other Labour members to provide free school meals in the holidays for our children
"Christine knows how to establish successful partnerships and has worked at the highest level with different stakeholders to bring about real change and real progress. She set up and led a specialist housing company. She later formed the Association for Supported Living, bringing together CEO’s from across England to solve the problem of a lack of housing for people with disabilities.
"Christine will champion the causes of vulnerable residents and will use her experience of developing housing and services at a national level. She will implement schemes such as a community grocery and café project, helping to support those who are struggling with rising energy and food prices.
"Christine won’t just sit back as Seghill with Seaton Delaval is given crumbs from the table, it’s not in her nature. She will be your strong voice at County Hall."
