As the 2005 general election draws closer, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire is giving you the chance to quiz your local candidates as they take part in a series of live debates.

Voting

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire is holding an hour-long debate for each of the seven constituencies in the county. Starting on Thursday 21st April with Cambridgeshire North West, there will be a debate every weekday, with your candidates discussing the issues that affect you.
