Polling Districts, Places & Stations Review 2023

Polling District, Place and Station Review

By law, councils must review their polling districts, polling places and polling stations every five years to make sure voting arrangements remain suitable and accessible.

Following the electoral review of Redditch in 2023, which introduced new ward boundaries, the Council carried out a review of local polling arrangements to ensure they reflected the new wards before the May 2024 local elections.

What is being reviewed?

  • Polling district – the area that voters are assigned to for voting.
  • Polling place – the building or location where voting takes place.
  • Polling station – the specific room or area within a polling place where voters cast their votes.

What does the review consider?

The review aims to ensure that:

  • Voters have convenient access to voting facilities.
  • Polling places are accessible to all voters, including disabled people.
  • Polling places are located within their polling district wherever possible.
