WITH THE GENERAL election date set for 8 February, TheJournal.ie general election 2020 database will be your port of call for information on each candidate. 

The database is available on all platforms and serves as an informative, detailed guide to all of the general election candidates and parties. 

The database contains pictures, biographies, contact details and the social media profiles of over 400 candidates from the 39 constituencies around the country. 

The candidates can be searched by constituency or through their party page. 

If you notice any missing candidates, please contact us below and we will add them to the list.

Over the coming days, we will be updating each candidate’s profile to include a series of answers to three key questions. 

These are:

  1. Why should someone vote for you?
  2. What is your number one priority for your constituency?
  3. What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if elected?

You will soon have the opportunity to read their answers and decide for yourself if they are a suitable candidate for your area.
