DISTRICTS,
POLLING PLACES AND POLLING STATIONS

Summary of changes
‘The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 introduced a change to the timing of compulsory
reviews of UK Parliamentary polling districts and polling places. The next compulsory review must now be
started and completed between 1 October 2018 and 31 January 2020 (inclusive).’
The scope of the 2019 polling district and polling station review project covered the following:
1. Identified wards which are split by parliamentary constituency boundaries, and ensure the following: a. that polling district boundaries align closely with the existing constituency boundaries b. that suitable polling station provision is made for all electors
2. Identified polling stations which were found to be not fit for purpose during the 2018 elections, and identify suitable alternatives where possible
3. Identified all polling stations located in schools, and identify suitable alternative venues where possible
4. Made adjustments to existing polling districts, for administrative purposes in order to improve the delivery of elections
This has resulted in 105 polling districts. A total of 100 polling stations will be allocated for these polling
districts. Five polling stations will serve as a double polling station for two polling districts. These stations
are:
Albrighton Community Centre in Champion Hill Ward
Dockland Settlements Community Centre in Surrey Docks Ward
Michael Faraday Primary School in Faraday Ward
Bermondsey Village Hall in London Bridge & West Bermondsey Ward
Silverlock Tenants Hall in Rotherhithe Ward
The parameters for the process of drawing up the districts were:
There should be no more than 2500 electors (excluding absent voters) allocated to a particular polling station as per the Electoral Commission’s guidance.
Polling district boundaries should be drawn so as to reduce the impact of non-coterminous constituency and ward boundaries. This results in an additional number of small polling districts, as the constituency boundaries must be used in devising the final scheme
To identify suitable venues to replace polling stations used in 2018 that were not fit for purpose
To identify suitable venues, where possible, to replace schools currently used as polling stations
All suitable existing polling stations used in the 2018 election to be retained where possible
There are three very small enclaves in the borough, where the ward boundaries and constituency
boundaries result in a small number of electors who are in a different constituency to the rest of the ward,
and it is not possible to create a polling district for these electors. There are two small enclaves in Dulwich
Village Ward, and a third one in Faraday Ward. These will only cause difficulties if there is a combined
election with both local and parliamentary franchises able to vote. In this case electors will vote in the
parliamentary polling station, and arrangements will be made to provide local ballot papers for those
electors in that other polling station.

The electorate totals for all wards and polling districts in this report includes absent voters. These figures
are based on the electorate for February 2019, and have been rounded up and down to 5.
Polling districts are identified as number 1 at the north of the ward, moving clockwise through all the
different polling districts.
The following legend has been developed for use of all maps contained in this report:
Polling district 1 – pink
Polling district 2 – yellow
Polling district 3 – blue
Polling district 4 – green
Polling district 5 – purple
Polling district 6 – gold
