Polling District, Polling Places and Polling Stations Review

The Electoral Administration Act 2006 introduced a duty for all relevant authorities to conduct a review of the designated polling districts and polling places for Parliamentary constituencies.

Cheshire East Council is hereby giving notice that a review of all polling districts, polling places and polling stations in the borough will take place during the next few weeks.

We are looking for feedback on any aspect of polling districts and polling places currently used, and we invite representation and comments from all interested persons, local political parties and councillors. Any persons or bodies making representations should, if possible, give alternative places that may be used as polling places.

As part of the review, the Returning Officer will be consulted on any proposed polling arrangements. Any comments made by the Returning Officer will be published during the review process.

The Council invites views on the Council’s proposals, the Returning Officer’s representations or any other matter from any electors within the Parliamentary constituencies of Macclesfield, Congleton, Tatton, Crewe and Nantwich, and Eddisbury, as well as such persons that may have particular expertise in relation to access to premises for persons with different forms of disability.

The deadline for representations is Friday 4th November.
