Polling Places Review - Effects of Covid-19 and the postponement of the ward boundaries
The changes to the ward boundaries were due to
take effect at the elections this May. As a result of the
Coronavirus Act those changes were postponed, along with the
elections, to May 2021. So the Council needs to be able to hold
by-elections and other polls using the "old" boundaries between now
and May 2021. To do that we need to amend the new scheme so as to
be able to re-create the old scheme. This report proposes a scheme
to enable that.
