Polling Districts & Places Review

On 20^th November we will open our consultation on the Council’s scheme of Polling Districts and Polling Places. This is an exercise which we are required to run every 5 years.

So that we are in the best position to consider the comments we receive, we have revised the starting date but also extended the consultation period, which will now close at 5pm on Wednesday 3^rd January.

When we begin the consultation, a link to the proposed scheme will appear on this page.

We will be writing separately to certain individuals and organisations who we are required to consult by law. However, we welcome comments from anyone who is eligible to vote in the District. We will consider all comments before we finalise the scheme.

Notice of our review can be seen below.

A polling place is the venue at which a polling station is located.

A polling station is the room or space where voting takes place.
