Review of polling districts and places 2024

The initial phase of the consultation period is now closed.

Review details

North Norfolk District Council is required to complete a review of all polling districts and polling places within its administrative boundary at least once every five years. The last review took place in 2018. This does not prevent changes from being made before the next periodical review.

Documents following initial consultation

Definitions

Polling district

The polling district is the geographical area created by dividing an electoral area. All wards within the North Norfolk district are divided into polling districts, which form the basis upon which the register of electors is produced. Parish boundaries define most polling districts, but there are exceptions. Unless there are special circumstances, each parish must be in a separate polling district.

Polling place

This is the designated area for a polling district where a polling station is located.

Polling station

A polling station is the actual area where the process of voting takes, for example, a room in a community centre or a school.

Aim of the review

The purpose of this review is to make sure:

• electors have reasonable facilities for voting, which are practicable in the circumstances
• as far as is reasonable and practicable, the polling places are accessible to all electors and must consider the accessibility needs of those who are disabled

The review does not consider parish, ward boundaries, divisions or parliamentary constituencies.
