Photographs

The Downing Street, Westminster, Royal Navy, Buckingham Palace, London and polling station images are freely licensed photographs from Wikimedia Commons, resized for the web. Several are share-alike licensed, and one is Crown copyright released under the Open Government Licence: if you reuse them, the original licence travels with the image.

Council photographs

Each by-election page carries a photograph of the council area rather than of the ward being contested. No free source of representative pictures of individual wards exists, so every one of these is captioned on the page with what it actually shows.

Constituency photographs

628 of the 650 seat pages carry a photograph of a named town or village inside the constituency, in place of the nation photograph they used to share. None is a picture of a whole constituency (no such thing exists for most of them), so each page names the place shown and says it is not the whole seat. Where nothing suitable was found, the nation photograph still stands in.

Portraits

OGL 3 refers to the Open Government Licence v3.0. CC BY licences require attribution, given above. Where no freely licensed portrait exists, the site shows a typographic monogram rather than an unlicensed photograph.
