Have your say on a review of Central Bedfordshire Council’s polling districts, polling places and polling stations.

A spokesperson for Central Beds Council said: “The review is an ideal opportunity for electors, community groups and other interested people to share their opinions on the existing polling district boundaries, polling place and stations and, where possible, suggest alternative solutions.”

> A Polling place is a building or area in which polling stations will be located. As far as possible, these should be situated within the polling district for which they are designated. In exceptional circumstances, the polling place may be designated outside the polling district.

> A Polling station is a room or building where voting actually takes place. There can be more than one polling station in a polling place, which is common in many areas.
