Polling District & Polling places Review

Please see the review below which is out for consultation - as far as I can see Carthorpe village is unaffected. (Chair)

Polling district and polling places review

Following changes introduced by the Local Government Boundary Commission, North Yorkshire Council is updating polling district boundaries and some polling places ahead of the May 2027 elections. This review ensures that polling arrangements remain appropriate, accessible and aligned with new parish ward boundaries.

The Local Government Boundary Commission has made changes to parish ward boundaries in 14, mainly larger, parishes. These revisions mean that several polling district boundaries must be updated, and some polling places adjusted, to ensure they align with the new arrangements.

We are asking for your views between 3 August and 12 October 2026. The proposals include updates to polling districts and changes to approximately 50–100 polling stations across the county.

We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you find it challenging to travel to or access your local polling station.
