The third elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly will be held on 7 March 2007. The Assembly elected in 2003 has not met, but following talks in St Andrews in 2006, a transitional assembly will come into effect on 24 November. It will be dissolved in January 2007, after which campaigning for the elections will begin.[1]
Candidates in the election are expected from the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin, both of which will hope to increase their representation; from the Ulster Unionist Party and Social Democratic and Labour Party, both of which will hope to maintain their representation at close to current levels; and from various minor parties. The other parties which won seats at the 2003 election are the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, the Progressive Unionist Party and the UK Unionist Party.
