We have legal responsibility to review all polling
districts and places within North Somerset every four
years.
The
Electoral Administration Act 2006 introduced a duty for them to
be reviewed on a regular four-yearly cycle with the first completed
by 31 December 2007.
However, this will not prevent changes being made at any time
before the next review is due in 2011.
The point of the review is to ensure you have accessible and
reasonable voting facilities.
As a result, the existing polling district and place
arrangements for the Weston-super-Mare and Woodspring
constituencies were opened up for consultation until mid-September
2007.
For further information about the review process and proposals
please download the following documents:
On the back of the submissions received we made recommendations
for some new polling districts and polling places.
However, there is no requirement to change any existing
arrangements.
A report including any recommendations was submitted to our
Council meeting on 20
November 2007.
Changes resulting from the review were implemented by 3 December
2007 and reflected in the revised 2008
Electoral register.
