  • Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations : Consultation Document
    Review of polling districts, polling places and polling stations : Consultation document Introduction All district councils are required to complete a review of polling districts and polling places every five years, ahead of scheduled Parliamentary General Elections. This particular review must, by law, be completed by 31 January 2020, although best practice dictates it should be concluded, where practicable, in advance of the publication of the next revised Register of Electors on 1 December 2019 to enable any changes to take effect from that date. The purpose of the review is to ensure electors are given “such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances.” As part of the statutory review, contributions from the (Acting) Returning Officers for the Parliamentary Constituencies that represent the district should be sought. As such, Sevenoaks District Council has consulted with the (Acting) Returning Officers for the Dartford, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge & Malling constituencies, and their contributions are included within this consultation document. This consultation document contains an assessment of existing and proposed polling districts and polling places within the district. Commenting on the proposed recommendations We welcome the views of all residents, particularly disabled residents, or any person or body with expertise in access for persons with any type of disability, on the proposals within this consultation document. Anyone making representations should, if relevant, give alternative places that may be used as polling places. The consultation period runs from 31 July 2019 to 1 October 2019. Any changes are expected to take effect from the publication of the new Register of Electors on 1 December 2019.
