Background information
- A polling district is a smaller part of an electoral area. They can be thought of as the building blocks from which different council wards and parliamentary constituencies are built from. A polling district cannot be shared between two electoral areas - such as a parish.
- A polling place is the building or area in which the polling stations will be selected by the (Acting) Returning Officer
- A polling station is the room or building where voting takes place.
