Review of polling districts and polling places 2023

Why the review process?

The main aim of the review and proposals is to:

  • try and identify new polling places in areas where the existing provision is unsuitable or unavailable
  • consider, as appropriate, feedback received from recent elections raised by members of the public, elected members and other stakeholders
  • ensure, as far as practicable, that any new polling places are accessible to people with disabilities
  • ensure that all electors have reasonable facilities for voting
  • try to minimise disruption to schools

An Electoral Registration Officer must amend the electoral register. This is to reflect any change in a polling district. These changes will show on the re-publication of the electoral register on 1 February 2024.

All changes must be passed by us. This is why we need to carry out the review ahead of the Council meeting in December 2023.
