The Conservatives, Green Party and Labour are fielding 32 candidates in total, two in each wards. The Liberal Democrats are fielding two candidates in 15 wards, with the exclusion of Old Hastings where the Liberal Democrats opted to stand aside in favour of the Greens.

The For Britain Movement, The Democrats and Veterans Party and UKIP – are each putting up one candidate; UKIP in Gensing while The For Britain Movement and the Democrats and Veterans Party are both fielding candidates in Castle.
