Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places
2007 |
| In accordance with the Representation of the People Act
1983 (as amended by the Electoral Administration Act 2006) - the
Council has completed the review of the Polling Districts and the
Polling Places in the two parliamentary constituencies within the
Borough. | |
The procedure for a review of polling districts, polling
places and polling stations was laid down in the Representation of
the People Act.
The Act also confirmed the guiding principles in a review. These
included ensuring that all electors in a constituency had such
reasonable facilities for voting as were practicable in the
circumstances and ensuring, so far as was reasonable and
practicable that every polling place was accessible to electors who
were disabled.
The Council initiated the review with the publication of a Notice
of Start of Review. The Council then published the proposals made
by the Returning Officer for alterations. Comments were invited
during a consultation period. At the end of this consultation, the
Council considered the comments received and adopted an arrangement
of polling districts and polling places for a period of four years,
after which there was a further duty to review.
Following completion of the review that had been initiated by the
Council's Licensing Committee and following approval by the
Licensing Committee the new arrangements were then submitted and
approved by Full Council on 6th March 2008.
