Full list of election candidates
The full list of candidates to stand in the assembly election later this month has been released by the electoral office in Northern Ireland.
A total of 256 candidates have been nominated to contest the 108 seats across the 18 constituencies.
The Northern Ireland Assembly election is going ahead on 26 November, despite a failure by Sinn Fein and the Ulster Unionists to reach an agreement which would have led to the re-establishment of the power-sharing executive at Stormont.
Instead, a review of the workings of the Good Friday Agreement and a further round of talks is expected to begin after the election.
The names of the candidates are listed alphabetically.
