Report of the Executive Director of Resources

The City Council considered a report of the Chief Executive which detailed amendments to the polling district and polling review scheme which had been approved by Council on 13 October 2016.  The amendments were required due to some of the locations no longer being available and comments received at the polls in May and June 2016.  The Electoral Arrangements Advisory Panel and Ward Members had been consulted and a consultation document was published on the Council’s website as required by legislation.

RESOLVED that the City Council:

1)  Approves the revised polling district and polling place scheme as set out in the report.

2)  Agree that, should further polling places become available prior to the election, the Chief Executive following consultation with the Leader and Deputy Leader and the appropriate Ward Councillors, may make amendments to the scheme as required.
