Review of polling districts and polling stations
We are currently carrying out a review of our polling districts, and the buildings used as polling stations.
Suggestions for changes are sought from electors, political parties and other interested organisations. We also welcome representations from any persons or body with expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for persons with any type of disability.
