Polling District & Polling Place Review 2007

Wychavon District Council conducted a review of polling districts and polling places in 2007 according to Section 18 of the Representation of the People Act 1983.

This was a statutory requirement for 2007 and will continue to be carried out at least every 4 years afterwards.

Polling districts are the areas allocated to a polling place/polling station.  Polling districts form the building blocks of the wards, electoral areas and constituencies, and any changes can only be made within these boundaries.

This review could not affect ward boundaries. Each parish in England must be in a separate polling district. A summary of changes to electoral arrangements and polling stations is available to download and maps of current boundaries can be inspected by contacting the Democratic Services Officer at the Civic Centre, Pershore.

Whilest conducting the review the council had to

• Seek to ensure that all electors in the constituency have such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances
• Seek to ensure that so far as is reasonable and practicable, the polling places we are responsible for are accessible to all electors, including those who are disabled, and when considering the designation of a polling place, must have regard to the accessibility needs of disabled persons.
