The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 introduced a change to the timing for all relevant authorities to conduct a review of the designated polling districts and polling places for Parliamentary constituencies.

The review will enable the council to seek to ensure that all electors have, as far as practicable, reasonable facilities for voting.

The Boundary Commission is currently conducting a review of Cheshire East Council’s electoral arrangements which will ultimately affect the Council’s polling arrangements.
