Press Release

21 June 2019

Voters asked to give their opinion on polling

For the second time this year residents are being asked to provide feedback on the current polling districts and polling stations in the Fareham Borough.

Voters are being asked to go online before 17 July and give their views at https://www.fareham.gov.uk/have_your_say/consultation/pollingdistrictreview-secondconsultation.

Every five years, Fareham Borough Council is required to carry out a review to make sure that voting arrangements are up to date and fit for elections. The first part of the review took place in April when residents were asked for their opinion on the polling districts and stations currently being used. The feedback was taken into consideration and the changes implemented as a result now form the basis of this new consultation.

Results will be analysed, and the Council will again take people’s views into consideration. If changes are needed, they will come into effect from 1 December 2019.

Executive Leader of the Council, Councillor Seán Woodward, said: “I would urge all voters to give their opinion on the current arrangements for elections. We need to make voting as accessible and convenient for residents as possible.”

Comments can also be emailed to elections@fareham.gov.uk. They can also be sent in writing to Electoral Services, Fareham Borough Council, Civic Offices, Civic Way, Fareham, PO16 7AZ.
