Bromsgrove residents have been invited to give feedback on the places they go to vote during elections.
Comments are invited on issues such as the convenience of the current polling arrangements, any accessibility issues including for people with disabilities and ideas for alternative locations for polling stations.
All information received will be published and inform the work of the council.
Acting returning officer for Bromsgrove district, Sue Hanley, said: “This review takes a more in-depth look at whether our present polling district and polling station arrangements are the best we can provide for local electors and considers potential changes.
“It’s over and above the routine mini-reviews we hold every year and I would encourage residents and all interested parties to send in their comments.
“For example, it’s a good way to make suggestions for alternative locations for polling stations, as it could highlight potential venues that we don’t know about.”
The consultation is being held as part of a statutory review that Bromsgrove District Council must do every five years to establish the suitability of its polling districts and locations.
It launches on Monday, October 2 and will run for six weeks until 5pm on Monday, November 13.
During that time, the details of existing electoral arrangements will be available for inspection at the council’s Parkside offices on Market Street, Bromsgrove, between 10am and 4pm and online.
All comments must be made in writing to elections@bromsgroveandredditch.gov.uk or by post to ‘Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations Review, c/o Electoral Services Manager, Town Hall, Walter Stranz Square, Redditch, B98 8AH.
