Residents are being asked if polling stations and polling districts in ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ suit their needs in a five-week consultation.
ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council has a duty to divide the borough into polling districts and to designate suitable polling places within each district. The Electoral Administration Act 2013 introduced a requirement to review these arrangements every five years. The last full review was in 2019.
The review is designed to see if the polling districts and polling stations in ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ are arranged to suit the needs of voters and covers the following:
- the polling district boundaries within each ward in ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾
- the location of the polling station in each polling district
- access to each polling station
- buildings that might be considered for use as polling stations
All local authorities must hold a full Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations Review between 1 October 2023 and 31 January 2025. The council’s Governance Committee approved that ºÚÁÏÍøվ’s consultation will take place from Monday 2 October until Sunday 5 November 2023.
If you would like to make a suggestion on these or any other polling matters, please email elections@crawley.gov.uk or write to Electoral Services, ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council, Town Hall, The Boulevard, ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ RH10 1UZ by 5 November 2023.
