Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations
The district of North Hertfordshire is divided by the Council into polling districts, with polling places designated for each district.
We have a duty to review these arrangements every 5 years.
The aim of each review is to assess the suitability of the current station configuration and how this suits the needs of voters, taking into consideration issues around access to polling stations, polling district boundaries and the location of polling stations.
We want to ensure electors have reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances, taking into consideration:
- existing polling arrangements and suggested alternatives; and
- accessibility of polling places, particularly for disabled residents.
