Polling District Review

Polling District, Polling Places and Polling Stations Review 2024.

Every five years we are required to carry out a review of our Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations.  We will begin the next review on 31 July 2024.

The review

The review is to ensure the polling districts and polling places in Knowsley suit the needs of voters, and includes:

  • polling district boundaries within each ward in the borough
  • location of the polling places and stations in each polling district
  • accessibility of each polling station

Further details will be available on this page (including details of public consultation) as and when the review commences.
