Polling district and polling places review

To ensure that all electors have reasonable facilities for voting, we review our polling districts and places at least once every five years.

Review of polling districts and polling places
Under the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013, the council has a duty to divide the city into polling districts and to designate a polling place for each of these districts. The legislation also requires every local authority to complete a review of its polling districts and polling places by 31 January 2025. Subsequent reviews must be undertaken at least once every five years.

A consultation took place from 16 October to 25 November 2024.

Outcome of the consultation
Thirty-nine comments were submitted as part of the consultation process, and we thank those who took the time to respond. A report detailing the recommendation made by the Acting Returning Officer, following consideration of the consultation responses, was submitted to a meeting of the full council on 16 January 2025.

A detailed schedule showing consultation submissions and the final confirmed outcome, is attached below.
