City of York Council is reviewing the places where people can vote, and is asking residents to comment on new proposals as well as on existing stations.
Like all towns and cities, York is divided into polling districts in which local residents can vote in person. After Parliamentary constituency boundary changes were made in York this summer, some changes are being proposed for certain districts and polling stations.
The Council is asking residents for their thoughts on these proposals, and for suggestions to improve any existing polling district boundaries and polling stations.
Views are particularly welcomed from disabled people in terms of access to polling stations, support available and additional support needed.
The aim of the review is to ensure that:
- electors have reasonable and practical facilities for voting
- polling places are accessible to all electors, as far as is reasonable and practical
Polling review definitions
- Polling District: The area created by dividing up an electoral area. All our wards are divided into polling districts, which form the basis upon which the register of electors is produced
- Polling Place: The designated area for a polling district in which a polling station is located
- Polling Station: The specific location where the voting takes place, for example, a room within a school or community building
Please give your feedback
Here is a list of polling districts and polling places by ward:
