Introduction - about the consultation

A public consultation on Calderdale Council's electoral arrangements has been launched.

It started on 31 March 2025 and ends at midnight on 11 June 2025.

The Council must carry out a review of its polling districts and polling places. This follows the final recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England's review of Calderdale. The review ensures that voting arrangements remain up to date, convenient and accessible for electors.

The Council must seek to ensure that:

•  All electors in the constituency have such facilities for voting.
•  Polling places are accessible to all electors.
• The needs of disabled people are considered when designating a polling place.

What is being reviewed

• Where a polling station is in each polling district.
• The accessibility of each polling station.
• What buildings could be used.
• The polling district boundaries within each ward of each constituency.
