A review of our polling districts, polling places and stations started on 02 October 2023 and finished on 17 November 2023.
As part of the review, 6 weeks consultation with the public, community groups and other stakeholders took place.
The aim of the review is to ensure electors have reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances and as far as is reasonable and practicable, polling places are accessible to all electors, and consider the needs of people with disabilities.
