We’re reviewing places to vote in Pendle

Published Tuesday, 3rd October 2023

Pendle Borough Council is looking at the places you can go to vote to ensure they meet the needs of voters.

Polling station review

 

It’s inviting residents and any interested parties to give their views on whether current venues are accessible and to suggest alternative locations.

Pendle’s polling stations are in buildings which range from schools and church halls to community centres.

Rose Rouse, Pendle Borough Council’s Chief Executive and Returning Officer, said: “The review into where people can vote in elections looks at how convenient they are to get to and how easy they are to access for everyone, including people with disabilities.

“We want to make it as convenient as possible for residents to cast their votes so we’re asking people to suggest alternative polling stations if they are not accessible.”

All comments and suggestions need to be submitted to the Council by Monday 23 October 2023.

 You can do this by:

  • emailing andrea.mullin@pendle.gov.uk
  • writing to Andrea Mullin, Election Office, Pendle Borough Council, Town Hall, Market Street, Nelson, BB9 7LG
