Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Review of polling districts and polling places 2023

Why the review process?

The main aim of the review and proposals is to:

  • try and identify new polling places in areas where the existing provision is unsuitable or unavailable
  • consider, as appropriate, feedback received from recent elections raised by members of the public, elected members and other stakeholders
  • ensure, as far as practicable, that any new polling places are accessible to people with disabilities
  • ensure that all electors have reasonable facilities for voting
  • try to minimise disruption to schools

An Electoral Registration Officer must amend the electoral register. This is to reflect any change in a polling district. These changes will show on the re-publication of the electoral register on 1 February 2024.

All changes must be passed by us. This is why we need to carry out the review ahead of the Council meeting in December 2023.
