Have your say on polling districts

With new ward boundaries now in place in Exeter, people are being asked for their thoughts on proposed new polling districts and stations within those wards.

The Local Boundary Commission for England recently published its recommendations on electoral arrangements for Exeter.

Now Exeter City Council must conduct a Review of Polling Districts and Polling Stations within the new wards.

The results of this Review will form the basis for the publication of a revised register of electors on 1 February 2016; which will in turn form the basis of the arrangements for the City Council elections due on 5 May 2016 (along with the Police and Crime Commissioner elections also due).

People can find out more by going to www.exeter.gov.uk/pollingreview where it is explained why a review has to be undertaken; the current list of polling stations in the City; and a list of proposed changes where necessary.
