Polling Districts & Places 2026 (Interim Review)
An interim Polling District and Polling Place review is taking place. The consultation on the proposals for change runs Wednesday 8 July to Wednesday 19 August 2026.
The use of technology in a polling station, has enabled more centralised polling places to be created. Electoral registers for more than one polling district/parish to vote in the same place.
The tablet assists the polling staff in verifying and recording the issue of ballot papers in a polling station. An elector can be found by searching their name, address or QR code on their poll card.
- A Council’s area is divided into polling districts; one or more polling districts can make up a ward.
- A polling place is an area or building within a polling district in which a polling station is situated.
The suitability of polling stations is assessed along with their accessibility, facilities for voters and, in particular, for those with a disability.

Boxley Downs
