Residents are being asked if polling stations and polling districts in Â鶹´«Ã½ suit their needs in a five-week consultation.

Â鶹´«Ã½ Borough Council has a duty to divide the borough into polling districts and to designate suitable polling places within each district. The Electoral Administration Act 2013 introduced a requirement to review these arrangements every five years. The last full review was in 2019.

The review is designed to see if the polling districts and polling stations in Â鶹´«Ã½ are arranged to suit the needs of voters and covers the following:

  • the polling district boundaries within each ward in Â鶹´«Ã½
  • the location of the polling station in each polling district
  • access to each polling station
  • buildings that might be considered for use as polling stations

Details and maps of Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s current polling stations and polling districts can be found on the Polling district and polling station review consultation page.

All local authorities must hold a full Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations Review between 1 October 2023 and 31 January 2025. The council’s Governance Committee approved that Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s consultation will take place from Monday 2 October until Sunday 5 November 2023.

If you would like to make a suggestion on these or any other polling matters, please email elections@crawley.gov.uk or write to Electoral Services, Â鶹´«Ã½ Borough Council, Town Hall, The Boulevard, Â鶹´«Ã½ RH10 1UZ by 5 November 2023.
