Polling District Review 2024

We completed an interim polling district review in January 2025, which the Governance Committee agreed at their meeting on 15 January 2025.

The last full review was completed in late 2023 and the Governance Committee agreed the outcome at their meeting on 17 January 2024.

The next review is scheduled for the period October 2028 to January 2030.

Requirements of the review

We are responsible for ensuring that polling places are accessible and practical for everyone in the area. Our priority is to ensure that we provide a good voting experience.

Legislation sets out the key requirements, which are that:

• each parish is to be a separate polling district, unless special circumstances apply
• the council must designate a polling place for each polling district
• the polling place must be within the polling district, unless special circumstances apply (for example, if no accessible polling place can be identified in the district)
