All comments and responses from the Acting Returning Officer have been published. The Final Polling Scheme was approved by Full Council on Tuesday 10 September 2019 and will been adopted in accordance with the Council’s Constitution. The new polling scheme arrangements will take effect for any elections held after 1 December 2019.
Following the publication of the final arrangements the following are, by law, entitled to appeal direct to the Electoral Commission within a period of six weeks.
These are:
- Groups of no less than 30 electors in a constituency who have not previously made representations.
- An elector who has previously made representations during the review.
- A person who is not an elector in the area but who the Electoral Commission decides has expertise in access to premises or facilities for disabled people.
All representations to the Electoral Commission must be in writing. They must be based on the grounds that the Council has not properly conducted the review because it has either failed to meet the reasonable requirements of electors, and/or taken insufficient account of accessibility for disabled people to the polling places within a polling district.
