POLLING DISTRICT REVIEW

North Yorkshire Council are required to carry out a consultation with North Yorkshire residents and stakeholders about the council's proposal for the polling districts and location of polling stations in every parliamentary constituency in North Yorkshire.

There are 888 polling districts under review. 

We want to seek the views of the public on the proposals and, in particular, engage with seldom heard groups who have specific needs and may find it difficult to travel to/ access their local polling station. We also want to hear the views of elected representatives – NYC members, MPs and parish councils.
