Review of polling districts, polling places & polling stations
We're conducting a statutory review of our polling districts, polling places and polling stations. The definitions of these are as follows:
- A polling district is a geographical area which is created by dividing up an electoral area. All wards within South Ribble are divided into polling districts, which form the basis upon which the register of electors is produced.
- A polling place is the designated area (i.e. building) in which a polling station is located in a particular polling district.
- A polling station is the area where the process of voting takes place (i.e. a room within a building).
The aim of the review is to ensure that:
- Electors have such 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 take into account the needs of disabled persons.
The review will not consider ward boundaries or parliamentary constituencies.
Timetable of review
- 14 August 2019 - Publish Notice of Review
- 14 August to 25 October - Consult for representations and comments on the existing and proposed (if any) arrangements
- 28 October to 8 November - Consider all representations and alternative proposals
- 27 November - Recommendations to Council
- 1 December - Publish revised Register of Electors based on existing arrangements
- 1 February 2020 - Publish revised Register of Electors to include any amendments following the conclusion of the review
Once the review is completed, the authority must publish all correspondence sent and received, details of the results of the review including any issues raised and indeed any changes which have been approved, giving the reasons for its decisions.
A copy of the (Acting) Returning Officer's report will be published on this website.
All proposals and comments will be available for inspection at the Elections Office, when published at the conclusion of the review.
