    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF SOUTH RIBBLE BOROUGH COUNCIL 1 Electoral Review of South Ribble Borough Council Introduction Each year, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England audits the levels of electoral imbalances arising in each English local authority area in order to establish whether there is a need for an electoral review. Imbalances can arise from changing demographics and new developments, and movement of electors between local authority areas, as well as within individual areas. There are two elements that the Commission takes into account when assessing the need for an electoral review. Both relate to the level of electoral representation within a local authority area. Electoral inequality exists when voters are either over-represented or under-represented by their local councillor(s) in relation to average levels of representation for the authority as a whole. Under the criteria adopted by the Commission, if either of the following conditions is found to exist, then consideration is given to the need for a review: • Any local authority with a division or ward that has an electoral variance in excess of 30%. This means a division or ward having at least 30% more (or less) electors in it than the average for the authority as a whole; and/or • Any local authority where more than 30% of the divisions or wards have an electoral variance in excess of 10% from the average for that authority. On the basis of the latest data available, our authority appears to meet the selection criteria, with 9 of our 27 wards (33%) having an electoral variance in excess of 10%.
