Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations
To approve a new scheme of polling districts, polling places and polling stations.
The council has a duty to divide its area into Polling Districts and to designate Polling Places for each district and review these every 5 years.
The review is designed to see if the polling districts and polling places in Herefordshire are arranged to suit the needs of voters and covers the following:
· the polling district boundaries within each ward in the borough
· the location of the polling places and stations in each polling district
· the access to each polling station
The council cannot review the ward boundaries or the constituency boundaries.
As a result of the review we are not proposing changes to polling districts or places but there are some changes to polling stations proposed.
