North Lanarkshire Council Report Agenda item Ref: CJ/EH [7] for approval for noting Date: 5Apr11 2018 From: Archie Aitken, Head of Business for Legal and Democratic Solutions Telephone: 01698 302295 Email: AitkenAnorthlan.icsx.cov.uk Executive Summary This report advises of the Council's statutory obligation to conduct a review of the polling districts and the polling places within North Lanarkshire. Recommendation That the proposals for the review of the current polling districts and polling places as attached as an Appendix to this report be approved. Links Council plan to 2020: To improve relationships with communities and the third sector. Background Following the polling place review undertaken in 2013, the Policy and Resources Committee, at its meeting he'd on 5 December 2013 approved the polling districts and polling places in use for all electoral type events. Subsequent to this, and following the special meeting of the Council held on 3 October 2016, wherein it was noted that the review of the electoral arrangements undertaken by the Local Government Boundary Commission had resulted in a change to the ward boundaries and led to an increase of one ward, minor amendments were made to those polling districts and polling places that had been previously approved. 2. Report 2.1. The Representation of the People Act 1983, as amended by the Electoral Registration Act 2013, requires all Councils within the United Kingdom to conduct a review of polling places and polling districts within a period of six months beginning with 1 October 2013 and within the :\REP\REVPOLLDISTPIACCJ.DOCX 2 period of 16 months beginning with the first day in October of every fifth year thereafter. 2.2. Schedule IA of the 1983 Act imports a number of statutory requirements including:−publication of the notice of the review; • consultation with, and the publication of any representations received, from the Returning Officer for every parliamentary constituency affected, and • seeking the views of interested groups or bodies including electors, political parties and Members of the Council, as well as other elected Members such as MEPs, MPs and MSPs, and also from persons with particular expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for persons who have different forms of disability. 2.3. Having regard to the benefits of continuity it is suggested that the review effects change only where a clear benefit is identified and that the consultation proposals be based on the current polling arrangements as attached in the Appendix to the report. 2.4. Prior to the commencement of the statutory review on 1 October 2018, an informal consultation exercise will be undertaken with the Returning Officer and each Member of the Council, the results of which will be used to form the basis of the consultation document to be submitted to a future meeting of this Committee for consideration. 2.5. Following approval by this Committee of the consultation document, the Council will give formal notice that the statutory review of polling districts and polling places will commence on 1 October 2018. The notice will be included in all local newspapers, placed within public libraries in each parliamentary constituency within the authority and on the Council's website. MEPs, MPs and MSPs and North Lanarkshire Disability Forum will also be consulted at this time. 2.6. On conclusion of the consultation exercise, a full report outlining any proposals for change to the polling districts and polling places in the authority will be submitted to a future meeting of this Committee. 3.
