A REVIEW of Rugby’s polling stations has been launched.
Rugby Borough Council has to carry out a review of the borough’s polling stations, places and districts every five years, giving residents a say on the location and suitability of polling stations for voters.
The council currently uses a variety of buildings for polling stations, including community centres, churches, village halls and scout huts.
But the review aims to make sure the accessibility and lay-out of polling stations meets the needs of voters – particularly those with a disability.
The review also gives residents a chance to have a say on the location of polling stations and polling districts – the geographical area within an electoral ward or parliamentary constituency.
Visit www.rugby.gov.uk/pollingreview for more information, including maps of each of the borough’s electoral wards detailing the current locations of polling stations.
Comments can be sent by email to [email protected] or by post to: Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places, Electoral Services, Rugby Borough Council, Town Hall, Evreux Way, Rugby, CV21 2RR.
Residents can also view copies of the ward maps at the Town Hall from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
The review closes on Friday May 3.
