The British House of Commons election of May 7, 2015 will have 3,963 candidates in the 650 districts, for an average of 6.1 candidates per race. See the wikipedia article about the May 2015 election here.
By comparison, the U.S. House of Representatives election of November 2014 gave the average voter 2.5 candidates to choose from. Over half the U.S. House districts had no one on the ballot except Republicans and Democrats. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.
