From teenage students, 84-year-old great grandmothers and ancient reincarnated kings, this election is seeing candidates from all walks of life vying for your votes.
:: King Arthur Pendragon: I'm Really Going To Fight This One
Perhaps the most resilient of all the candidates is King Arthur - standing in Salisbury as an independent, in what will be his fifth tilt at a general election.
The druid king, who believes that he is the reincarnation of the ancient King Arthur, says this year he is taking it seriously.
He told Sky News: "This year I have the best chance yet as so many people are fed up with politicians.
"In the past I was a paper candidate, but I'm really going to fight this one. I've got just as much chance as any of the others."
:: The Great-Grandmother: My Age Is An Advantage
The oldest candidate to declare is 84-year-old Doris Osen, standing in the marginal seat of Ilford North.
She turns 85 in March so will be the oldest parliamentary candidate in the country by a few months.
Standing as an independent, she says she is not going to be able to do much of the door-knocking but will instead focus her campaign on talking to people and sending out leaflets.
Recently she spent £1,000 sending 30,000 fliers to the area.
When asked about how her age will affect her, she said: "It's actually a big advantage because I've got experience and lots of time. I'm in this to win it."
:: The Student: I Can Win This Tory Seat
The youngest candidate to step forward so far is 18-year-old Solomon Curtis - standing in Wealden for Labour.
He has a large Conservative majority of 17,000 to overturn to become the youngest MP ever.
As a member of the Youth Parliament, Solomon says he has built up lots of experience and thinks he can be an MP.
He said: "The argument I always make is that everyone that I speak to wants a more representative parliament, they want more women, more disabled people and they want more young people."
