The Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006 require the Council to conduct a formal review of its polling districts, places & stations. The 2023/24 review has been undertaken in two stages. Firstly, in preparation for the Police and Crime Commissioner election held on 2 May 2024; and secondly, using the feedback from this election as well as the snap general election on 4 July 2024 to inform the final stage of the review.

This report sets out the findings of this review and seeks agreement to the polling districts and polling stations/places to be used for future elections.

This report is being presented to the Corporate Support Committee for recommendation to Full Council, to comply with regulations.
