Update, October 29th: Triggers have now been paused ahead of the general election. All triggered MPs and those who have not completed their triggers will be automatically reselected subject to NEC endorsement. The list below will not be changed again, but frozen so that it can serve as a useful record of what happened.

Labour’s trigger ballot process is in full swing. This is the system that gives local members the choice between automatically reselecting their sitting MP as a candidate in the next election, or triggering a full selection process.

A Labour MP is ‘triggered’ when either a third (rounded up) of local party branches that indicate a preference (i.e. do not tie or fail to meet) request a full selection or a third (rounded up) of all affiliated branches do so. This threshold was changed at Labour conference 2018.

Any triggered MP is automatically on the shortlist for their selection, and any ‘triggered’ woman will have their seat subject to an all-women shortlist (AWS). No trigger votes are held where the MP has recently been on maternity leave. (Read FAQs here.)

Frontbenchers are up first, and their processes should be completed by the end of September, with the rest of the parliamentary party having a longer timetable.

The timing for Welsh Labour MPs has not been determined yet, as Welsh Labour is seeking to determine its own procedures. The votes won’t take place in Wales before mid-October.

So far, the triggered MPs are Diana Johnson, Margaret Hodge, Roger Godsiff, Emma Lewell-Buck, Kate Osamor and Virendra Sharma. Johnson and Hodge have been reselected.
