All the candidates had to submit their completed nomination papers by 16:00 GMT on 25 May.

A deposit of £500 was also required, which is returned if they get more than 5% of the votes in the election.

New applications to vote and to register for a new postal vote must be made by 8 June, Mid Devon District Council said.
