Residents in Selby and Ainsty will vote in a by-election on 20 July after MP Nigel Adams quit.
Later this month, voters in one North Yorkshire constituency will go to the polls in a by-election. The BBC spent a day in Selby and asked voters what they wanted from their new MP.
People living in the constituency travel further to get to work than in most other parts of the UK, with more than 32% of the population travelling 6.2 miles or further to reach their job. Emma, who lives in a village near Church Fenton within the constituency, is more upbeat about Selby: "People think it's a scruffy town but it's really nice, especially some of the little streets."
It's not a view shared by 69-year-old Ineata Hanks, who is working at Mollie Sharp's Cheese and Deli in Finkle Street. At the other end of the town centre, at environmentally-friendly shop Refill It, Carole Holliday says the issues facing voters have changed dramatically since the last election in 2019 - including the rising cost of living.
The constituency stretches between Leeds, York and Goole, taking in the towns of Selby, Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster as well as more rural villages.
