REPORT OF Returning Officer
TO Electoral Matters Committee
ON 30 October 2019.
TITLE: Outcome of the compulsory review of polling districts and polling places 2019
RECOMMENDATIONS: Members of the Electoral Matters Committee are asked to approve the changes to polling districts and polling stations as detailed in the report.
The report will be submitted to Full Council on Wednesday 20 November for endorsement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As required by the Electoral Administration and Registration Act 2013, compulsory reviews of parliamentary polling districts and polling places must take place every 5 years, reflecting the Fixed Term Parliament Act 2011.
The Council undertook its last compulsory review, which was combined with a review of local election arrangements, in 2013 coming into effect in April 2014. The Council is therefore required to undertake the next compulsory review within the 16 month period beginning on 1 October 2018 and concluding by 31 January 2020. This will be subject to approval by the Electoral Matters Committee (a non-executive committee of the council which has the relevant delegations under Salford’s constitution).
It is necessary that this review takes into account the changes to some of the city’s ward boundaries, following the conclusion of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s (LGBCE) Electoral Review of Salford.
BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS:
City Council’s Constitution The Electoral Commission Guidance
1 Feedback from the consultation
KEY DECISION: YES / NO
DETAILS:
1. Introduction
1.1 As required by the Electoral Administration and Registration Act 2013, compulsory reviews of parliamentary polling districts and polling places must take place every 5 years, reflecting the Fixed Term Parliament Act 2011.
1.2 The Council undertook its last compulsory review, which was combined with a review of local election arrangements, in 2013 coming into effect in April 2014. The Council is therefore required to undertake the next compulsory review within the 16 month period beginning on 1 October 2018 and concluding by 31 January 2020. This will be subject to approval by the Electoral Matters Committee (a non-executive committee of the council which has the relevant delegations under Salford’s constitution).
1.3 It is necessary that this review takes into account the changes to some of the city’s ward boundaries, following the conclusion of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s (LGBCE) Electoral Review of Salford.
2. Glossary of Terms
A polling district is defined as a geographical area created by the sub-division of a constituency or ward into smaller parts.
A polling place is a designated area (eg: a designated building) for a polling district into which polling stations are located.
A polling station is the room or area within a polling place where voting is conducted.
3. Requirements of the Review
In conducting the compulsory review, local authorities must:-
Publish notice of the holding of the review
Consult the (Acting) Returning Officer in a constituency which is wholly or partly in its area
Seek representations from the (Acting) Returning Officer to include information as to the location of polling stations within polling places
2 Publish the (Acting) Returning Officer’s representations within 30 calendar days of receipt Seek representations from persons that have expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for persons who have different forms of disability.
Seek representations from electors in a constituency wholly or partly in the authority’s area
Encourage representations to be made regarding proposals for alternative polling places
Publish the results of the review, giving reasons for its decisions.
4. Current practice: Polling Places
The (Acting) Returning Officer adopts a practice where, following each election, any issues in respect of the suitability of a polling place or a polling station is immediately addressed to ascertain whether there is a need to seek alternative accommodation. Polling places are therefore regularly reviewed and updated which reduces the number of issues that need to be addressed in the statutory polling place reviews.
In addition, the disabled access in respect of any polling place is assessed at each election by the completion of an access checklist by each Polling Station Inspector with any necessary actions being taken. The last two full elections took place on 2nd May 2019 (local election) and on the 23rd May 2019 (European Parliamentary Election). This reduces the number of issues that need to be addressed in the statutory polling place review.
5. Guidelines
In undertaking the review, the authority ensured that:-
All electors have reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances
In so far as is reasonable and practicable, that polling places are accessible to those who are disabled
The accessibility needs of disabled persons had been considered.
7. The outcome of the review
The following pages contain details of the outcome of the review. There is one table that relates to each of the authority’s 20 wards which includes:-
the polling district the number of electors as at 1 October, 2019
3 the polling place the polling station whether any change was made with a justification for any change or no change.

A review of polling districts and polling places is required to satisfy the Council’s obligation to undertake periodic compulsory reviews under Section 18C of the Representation of the People Act 1983. The Council is required to carry out and complete such a review within the period of 1 October 2018 to 31 January 2020.
Aside from the Council’s obligation to undertake a compulsory review of polling districts and polling places, a review would in any case be necessitated given the pending changes to ward boundaries resulting from the LGCBE’s electoral review of Salford, as implemented by The Salford (Electoral Changes) Order 2019
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Supplied by: Michael Rogerson x2743
The compulsory review has been undertaken by existing staff members so no extra costs to be incurred.
As per discussion with Karen Berry it is thought the review will lead to potential savings as a result of reducing the number of temporary polling stations which are a cost to the council.
