Notice of Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places

Overview

The Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006

Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013

The introduction of the 2006 regulations requires each local authority to carry out a review of Polling Districts and Polling Places on a regular four-yearly cycle and the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 introduced a change to the timing of compulsory reviews of UK Parliamentary polling districts and polling places, stating that the next review must be completed by 31 January 2015.

We are looking for feedback on any aspect of polling districts and/or polling places currently used and invite representation and comments from interested persons.

Local political parties and Councillors will be consulted and views are invited from electors within the Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council area as well as such persons as may have particular expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for persons who have different forms of disability.

Local community groups will also be consulted.

Although the review is of polling districts and polling places it is accepted that polling stations are inexorably linked to the review and comments are invited re those stations currently used and/or any suggested alternatives.
