This possibly gets across my meaning a bit better

It probably helps that he is a long-serving MP with national prominence (Simon Hughes).

I know the name of the incumbent I won't be voting for.

Can't spell or pronounce it. But I know it.

I have not always, but do currently, and intend to in the future.

So far I've narrowed it down to two possibilities, but I know their names.

Yes, I know it: it's ME!

I don't know any names at the moment, because I only start researching candidate info a little while before an election, and I'm not aware of any upcoming elections in my jurisdiction at the moment. That said, when I can find candidate info, I research it and choose the candidate I like best, but if I don't find any useful candidate info for a particular position, I either don't vote for that slot, or I vote for the party which seems to most align with my ideals.

I know her name, but I'm voting for her primarily based on party lines rather than because I think she's particularly good. I don't know the names of the people I'll be voting for in the local elections.

Used to. But since I can't vote at the moment, not applicable to me at this point in time.

...because he lives next door to me and has a Mini with his name on it which I walk passed every day.

I've spent quite some time arguing with her on national issues but she's good locally and the opposition winning is unthinkable.

I'm voting for the party, not the candidate. But I know his name :-)

Um, I'm her deputy campaign manager. I've written it down enough times, and help her run her Twitter account, amongst other things.

So I really ought to. But, she's the candidate from my party.

Having said that, I voted against the candidate from my party on the strength of his uselessness once; on balance, that was the right choice.
