Polling districts and polling places review

Find out more about the review and how to take part.

We’re carrying out a new Polling Districts and Polling Places Review due to changes following the Local Government Boundary Commission’s review of the Surrey County Council boundaries and in preparation for the planned creation of two new unitary councils in Surrey.  

This review replaces the one undertaken in January 2025, the implementation of which was postponed after the government announced plans for local government reorganisation. 

The updated review ensures polling arrangements align with new electoral boundaries and allows the (Acting) Returning Officer to manage multiple election types efficiently. 

The review is open from 12 December 2025 to 19 January 2026.
