Have your say on polling stations and districts

Residents are being asked if polling stations and polling districts in Crawley suit their needs in a five-week consultation.

Crawley Borough Council has a duty to divide the borough into polling districts and to designate suitable polling places within each district. The Electoral Administration Act 2013 introduced a requirement to review these arrangements every five years. The last full review was in 2019.

The review is designed to see if the polling districts and polling stations in Crawley are arranged to suit the needs of voters and covers the following:

• the polling district boundaries within each ward in Crawley
• the location of the polling station in each polling district
• access to each polling station
• buildings that might be considered for use as polling stations

Details and maps of Crawley’s current polling stations and polling districts can be found on the Polling district and polling station review consultation page.

All local authorities must hold a full Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations Review between 1 October 2023 and 31 January 2025. The council’s Governance Committee approved that Crawley’s consultation will take place from Monday 2 October until Sunday 5 November 2023.

If you would like to make a suggestion on these or any other polling matters, please email elections@crawley.gov.uk or write to Electoral Services, Crawley Borough Council, Town Hall, The Boulevard, Crawley RH10 1UZ by 5 November 2023.
