As per its legal obligation, Wiltshire Council is reviewing the polling districts, polling places and polling stations in the county.

And we are being encouraged to have our say as part of the review, where we can give our thoughts on the current polling facilities in Wiltshire.

The council is responsible for establishing polling districts for UK Parliamentary elections, with the review seeking to ensure all of Wiltshire’s polling districts, places and stations are suitable and accessible to all voters.

The last review took place in 2019 and the current consultation period lasts until 31st October.

(Acting) Returning Officer for Wiltshire, Terence Herbert said: “This review could ultimately see some changes being made to the local polling stations that are used in elections and where people vote, so we really welcome people’s thoughts. All representations submitted will be considered before our final recommendations.

“Thanks to people in advance for their support with this important work.”
